I absolutely recommend driving in Belgium! While there was a fair bit of traffic in Brussels (but annoying, not scary), driving outside the capital was extremely easy. Very similar to driving in the United States, to be honest — certainly easier than Sicily! As for beer tasting, you of course want to be careful about not driving while intoxicated. I’d suggest you arrive early enough to do tastings first, then look around the abbey itself while you sober up. Definitely be cautious, as you are allowed a BAC of only .05 in Belgium. Have fun!

Thanks for this comprehensive and beautiful read. Would you recommend driving across Belgium. I am afraid of those speed traps besides safety. My friend warned me if I do beer tasting in Orval I cannot drive. Thanks again for more information.
