The most important one is of course Antwerp (or Antwerpen in Dutch). It is one of the bigger harbours in Europe. It is the latest Belgian city on the Scheldt, from there on it flows further in The Netherlands, where it is big enough for the biggest sea-ships.
Second one (and for me the most beautiful one) is Ghent (Gent).
Some others are Tournai, Oudenaarde, Dendermonde.

The Rijin River, Mass River, and Scheldt River.
The Scheldt is a major river in Europe. The Belgian port of Antwerp is on the Scheldt, about 80 miles upriver from where it flows into the sea. After the D-Day landings, the Allies had to have a major port, and as soon as possible, in order to bring in enough supplies to support the drive into Germany. This meant Antwerp, or possibly Rotterdam. Either of those ports were in the British area and would have to be taken by British troops. The British finally did take Antwerp in September 1944, but took another two months to clear the banks of the Scheldt of Germans, so Allied ships could actually reach Antwerp.
The Scheldt River is approximately 350 kilometers (about 217 miles) long. It flows through France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, eventually emptying into the North Sea. The river is significant for trade and navigation in the region, linking various inland areas to maritime routes.
There are different rivers flowing from France through Belgium. These are the main rivers: La Meuse (going on in The Netherlands) L'Escaut (Scheldt in Dutch) (going on in The Netherlands) L'Yser And then you have some side-rivers: Leie Semois ...
Western Scheldt Tunnel was created in 2003.

Belgium's major bodies of water include the Scheldt River, which flows through the country and is crucial for trade and transport, and the Meuse River, which also plays an important role in the economy. The country has several significant canals, such as the Brussels-Scheldt Maritime Canal, enhancing connectivity between major cities. Additionally, the North Sea borders Belgium to the northwest, providing access to maritime activities. Other notable water bodies include various lakes and reservoirs, such as Lake Genval and the canals of Bruges.
Lille, one of the biggest French cities, is very close to the Belgian border. But even closer are Roubaix and Tourcoing.
