I'll be in Antwerp next week and I'd love to visit some of the places left from the 16th c. that were used to store merchandise that came from India, Africa...

Thank you in advance for your precious info:)

Hey,

Does anybody know of any stores/supermarkets near the city center (that's where we are staying) where I can buy beer? I still plan to go to bars, but why pay higher prices for certain brands when I can buy them in supermarkets. I like trying different beers and that could get expensive after a while. So since I'll be in Belgium I'd like to try as many beers as I can, expecially the ones that are not available in United States.

hello,

have limited internet access, will appreciate any help on this.

what's the easiest way to get from antwerp to beaune by land? by easy, i mean the least amount of transfers.

thank you very much in advance.

hi guys!
My question might seem unexpected, but are there any mosques in Antwerp? and if there are, does anybody know about visiting possibilities? or is there any street or something like that where live arabs and there are located their shops? ( I'd like to get some souvenirs like arabic alphabet jewellery and etc.)

by the way, will there be any events in Antwerp at 20th-21st of August?

Best wishes from Lithuania,

Hello everyone,

My girlfriend and I are going back to Belgium in the beginning of December. The first time we went to Brugge and Brussels. We spent a few days in Brugge and 2 days in Brussels. As a result, we saw nothing in Brussels. This time we will be going back to Brussels to see all that we missed and to Antwerp as well. We will also go to Amsterdam.

Would anyone be able to tell me whether or not 3 days are enough to see Antwerp or would 4 days be more adequate? We do not want to miss half of Antwerp as we did Brussels last time. Any advice regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,
Alex

My husband and I are hoping to visit Mechelen very soon. We are coming on eurostar to Brussels and then by train to Mechelen.Can we get a bus from Mechelen railway station to Novotel Mechelen Centrum on V Beethovenstr. If so, which bus do we get and do you pay the driver or get your ticket/s before boarding.
I look forward to hearing any information. Thanks Heather.

Dear friends,

I have two nights to spend in Belgium, second one of which will definitely be spent in Brussels. Question is, where should my first night be spent : Brugge, Gent or Antwerp? (considering I'm arriving from Amsterdam by IC train)

Do you recommend doing daytrips to any of the cities i'm not staying at? I'm mostly interested in good sights, nice food, beauty and shopping.

Can you make any hotel recommendations for brussels and my second city - whichever that will be :-) ?

Last thing, what's the distance from brussels to the airport, and how can i get to the airport?

Thank you in advance for all the help..!!!

Hi VT friends,

I have been checking the possibilities to get from Charleroi airport to Lier province Antwerp, I have seen some postings about that too in the Forums, but I'm still a bit confused and heaven't find the right info.

Im flying in to Charleroi on the 30th of Decembar at 8:20 (Wizzair from
Sofia) and need to go to Lier. What is the easiest and possibly not very
expensive way to do so? Can I (and do I need to) reserve our seats online?

Thanks very much in advance!
