walkable, and the canal cities of Bruges and Ghent are calmer than high-summer crowds. Expect mild temperatures, showers on and off, and tulip season in late April if you venture toward the Dutch border.<\/p><p>Summer (July\u2013August) is busy but festive: open-air beer festivals, coastal weekends in Ostend, and Tomorrowland if you are into electronic music.
