Hi
Has anyone taken the shuttle bus from Brugge to Charleroi? It says it takes 2 hours. I've a flight departing at 11:30 - is getting the 9:00 shuttle advisable or is it cutting it a bit fine? Any other way of getting to Charleroi fron Brugge?
Many thanks for any advice.

Hi all,

I am going to Brussels with the eurostar but have booked hotel in Brugge. I'll be spedning few hours in Brussels and have to get to Brugge in the evening.

Is there a direct train from Brussels to Brugge? Perhaps a direct coach? I had a look at the www.b-rail.be but I couldn't find useful info.

Your help is appreciated.

Best,

My wife and I, as well as another couple will be visiting Brugge in the first part of October. Being that we are not sure on our dates and it is starting to head into the off season we are planning on not pre booking accomidations. I am wondering if anyone has a good list B&Bs a person can call upon arrival? I know that in many other parts of Europe if you go to the local tourist office they will help find you a place. Is that a possibility for Brugge? Bottom line is any advice on the best way to track down a B&B on arrival would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi all.
We are going to Belgium in Octouber. My wife visited the country some years ago(20 or 23 years), she fell in love with Brugge and she uses to talk about an hotel she saw then, close to the channels. But she was too young to afford it then, and I would like to find that one, or maybe another one with similar characteristics. I know 20 years is too much time, and the hotel may have disapeared, or maybe there are tens of them all long the banks of the channel...so I know it is a dificult question, but I would really apreciate any help.

Thanks.

I got great advice on the bike rental question...Thought I'd ask one more...

I know nothing about lace.
Reading about it on VT has left me with a question.
How can you tell hand-made lace from machine-made?
Yes, I know that hand-made is more expensive...But is another way to tell.

Can anyone recommend a lace shop in town that sells only hand-made items.


Thanks again for the help,
Doug

Hi

Can anyone tell me where is a good bar, with good food etc, to watch the Champions League final tomorrow evening in Brugges

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

Can someone tell me what actual street the train station is located on? I am trying to figure out how to get from the train station to the Hotel Fevery on Coll. Mansionstraat 3. I have no idea if this is something I want to walk, or use a bus. thanks so much.

How much money do some of these places cost? I would like to know the most expensive one. I like to treat myself out to dinner sometimes.

How much money doe it cost to go to some of the rester aunt here? I would like to know you r most expensive rester aunt you have please. It has to be very pricey!

My elderly in-laws are taking a three night break in Brugge during May and will be flying in to Brussels airport late afternoon on a weekday. I would be grateful for any advice on transport links to Brugge centre from the airport. Ease and speed of journey and the least possible number of changes is more important than cost. Would they be better using bus or train? Thanks for you help.
