Hi All,i have a huge dilemma,i dont know how to get to the Charleroi airport to make a Ryanair flight at 6.30 am.I was wondering to stay in some hotel in Charleroi over the night and leave the hotel at around 4.30 am, but i am afraid that there is no transport early in the morning to the airport.Should we take the taxi?How much is it? Please advise.Thanks

Ok, I know a decent amount about both world wars. And I have been living in Germany with my husband whos in the US Army. Since I am Canadian...naturally Flanders is a place I want to see before I leave here in July. Heres is my question....I have looked all over the internet, but I cant find a site that says anything about visiting the actual fields that are talked about in the poem. I really want to see the area in which the poem was created. Is that even known? Is there a site for that? Please let me know asap, as we want to leave this following weekend. Also, I know there is the Tyne Cot Cemetery... How far is that from Flanders? Is there any other recommended sites to see. Keep note that I am only interested in war memorials and such. Thank you for your time and effort

What trains can I get from Bruges to Leper ( Ypres), around 11 am on a weekday, and return around 7pm. What will be the round trip fares, and time taken for the journey.

We will be arriving in Brussels from Bruges by train in August. We will stay in Brussels for one night and fly out of BRU to the US the next morning. Can someone tell me the most likely train station where we would disembark and recommend some reasonably priced hotels nearby that we can get to easily (there are 6 of us; a family of 4 and a couple)? I would like to see as much of Brussels as is possible in one day so hotels in a central location that can be easily reached from the train station might work better. Many thanks for your help.

I will be coming to antwerp in the 3rd week of May, since its my first trip to belgium I have a few questions on how to get in and out of belgium

2. After my work in Antwerp, I have to travel to Milan so can any1 recommend me any low-cost airlines? or if travelling by train by night and how much will it cost?
thanks in advance.

Which airport is the closest to Lier?

i am landing at brussels airport on the 31st may morning 9 am, from the USA. i need a ride to Duesseldorf or Koln, Germany. can anyone help?

Is the new high speed rail line operational from Liege to Aachen? As I understand that it is a large project with a long tunnel to cut out the rather slow but, very scenic route thru the tunnels going thru Verviers. All info is greatly appreciated.

Will be in Brussels for 3-4 days in July (yay!) - and I'm trying to find a centrally located hotel - which must have Eurosport (or similar) and WiFi - preferably WiFi included in the room price or on a pay-per-day basis, not pay-per-hour, since that tends to get expensive! (The bf has to work while we're there, that's why. ;o)

Someone suggested the Radisson SAS Royal (115 euro/night, WiFi included) which is located "a three-minute walk from the central railway station" - any thoughts...?

Any other suggestions.....?

Thanks! :o)

Hello,
I am 24 years old girl from Bulgaria, currently studying at the University of Helsinki. I am expected to start my traineeship in the EP on Monday, 5th May, however I will arrive there on Friday, 2nd. I still have no idea where I am going to live for three months. I am looking for a dorm/studio/shared flat with good transport connections to the EU area and a convenient monthly rent. Please, let me know if you have anything to offer or advise me in relation to the issue. It’s really urgent!!!
Thank you in advance.
Greetings from Finland...

I am in Antwerp in the first week of May. Staying near Antwerpen Centraal Station. Any ideas VTs for the evening?

Have to book a hotel in Brussels for 1 night next month. Can't decide which one. I'm happy with any number of good hotels in the city, so it boils down to location.

My meeting is at Ave Louise, and someone has suggested the Bristol Stephanie. Anyone any thoughts on it?

However, I like to be able to get the train in from the airport and then just fall into the hotel from the station. I can't stand the stress of the way taxi drivers drive there, and can't be bothered with a metro journey after the train.

That usually means somewhere like the Meridien, Novotel or Ibis (at Central Station), depending on who's paying!

Don't mind the metro up to Ave Loiuse for the meeting.

Anyone any better ideas?

i am landing in brussels on the 31st may, and wish to go to duesseldorf or close by in germany. what is the best option? is there anyone who can give me a ride?
also , i return to brussels on the 5th june.

3)Which are the best vintage clothing/design shops?
