Belgium School Holidays

[Jean]

Hi All. We're in the beginning stages of planning a trip that will include Belgium in spring of 2025. We plan to stay in Ghent and do day trips from there. I noticed that the week we are considering is spring break for the schools there. I'm concerned this might not be the best time to travel there. Will the local trains and sites be busier than usual? Any thoughts? At this stage, we can probably push things back a week or so. Thanks in advance.

I think I can answer my own question after doing more research. Evidently the Flanders portion of Belgium (where we'll be) has a different spring break than the southern part of the country. So at least we are now working with the correct dates when doing our planning. And I think we can easily plan to be there after the break period.
Now to get going with all the rest of the planning!
