Map

Belgium (Dutch: België; French: Belgique; German: Belgien) is a country in Western Europe featured in Euro Truck Simulator 2.

Summary

The country is bordered by the Netherlands to the north, Germany to the east, Luxembourg to the southeast, France to the southwest, and the North Sea to the northwest.

“	Belgium covers an area of 30,528 square km. There are 118,414 km of roads, among which there are 1,747 km of motorways. Belgium is divided into two parts which use different languages. That's why road signs in Belgium are either in Dutch or French. The capital city is Brussel.	”

Cities

In Euro Truck Simulator, Brussel was the only Belgian city included in the game. Belgium was further expanded in Euro Truck Simulator 2, and saw the addition of the city of Liège.

Trivia

• Belgium, after Luxembourg, is the second smallest country featured in ETS2. After the Going East DLC was released, it is also the country with second smallest number of cities featured.
• Before the release of Euro Truck Simulator 2, two dots above Brussel can be seen floating above the map, which indicates that Ghent was going to be featured. Due to scale constraints, the city was not available in-game.
• The Belgian port of Zeebrugge isn't featured in the game, hence one can't travel directly from Belgium to the United Kingdom, and instead have to use the Channel Tunnel, or the Ferry lines from the Netherlands and France.
• It should be noted that despite having a national numerotation system, and having dedicated icons present in the game files, signage in Belgium defaults to using the Euroroute numbering scheme to refer to motorways. In addition, the one road which is signed using national road numbers is the Brussels Ring Road, which doesn't have a map icon in the game files.
• Curiously enough, the second largest city in Belgium - Antwerp - has been left out of the game, although it may come with the Belgian restructuring. However, it's possible to access the city via ProMods.
