Can someone help me????
Yhanks a lot

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 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?

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...

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?

Hi. Could anyone tell me where to buy cigarettes close to the Eurostar Station in Brussels please? Many thanks.

Hello,

May I ask for anybody's help here re. to this matter?:

I'm in Brussels on Th/Fr, April 17/18. Will arrive in the mid-afternoon at Brussels airport and have to go kind of quick to the Expo area. Don't wanna get caught in any traffic jams using a bus or taxi, wourld prefer to take a train/the metro.

Could anyone here please advise me on which trains/metro lines to take to get from Brussels airport to Heysel Stadium?

Thank you in advance for any hints.

At the end of may I'll be in Brussell for an exchange between Bologna and Brussell about Zinneke Parade that it will be the last may saturday!
I'm looking for a good accomodation in a central location cause all the Zinneke appointement are in this area...last time I was in a good youth hostel (Jaques Breil) but in this period there are a lot of school trips and the noise during the night was incredible ( a party in the room next mine til 5 o'clock)....I'd like a b&b or similar....do u have any suggestions?
Thanks Simona

I just purchased tickets from brussels to paris on line for May 16, 9 am. I need to retrieve them from an "ATM at a SNCF boutique". Is such a place located right at the Brussels Midi station? How far in advance of departure time should I do this? thank you

I will be arriving in Brussels on a Sunday morning. I have a train connection at the airport which leaves about 45 minutes after my scheduled landing. If my plane is on time is 45 minutes enough time for me to clear immigration and pick up my bags and make it to the train station in the airport or since it will be aound 0800 should I just find a bar and hop the next train and hour later? I have never flown into Brussles so I am not familiar with how far the train station is located from baggage claim cash machines,ect.

Hi Thinking of staying at a B&B at the above address for 5 nights early Sept. My concern is how do we get into the city on Public Transport - Metro, Tram etc?

We intend taking day rail trips to Aachen, Bruges etc and need to get to the Midi station early morning,say 8am and return around 8pm. Therefore need regular transport to get to Midi.

Does the Avenue de l'Independence Belge 65 district offer tourist interestand is it safe at night?

Appreciate all comments.
Mike

Does any one knows of a good second hand shop for fourniture?
Some one asked me but I have no clue.
thanks already for any help and I will pass it on and credit you :)

Hi there,

Can anyone guide me the best way from Charleroi Airport to Turnhout. Please also let me know the cost involved.

We'll probably be flying Brussels Airlines in June and have a four-hour connection. We will already have our boarding passes and all, and our luggage will have been dealt with (since it is just a connection with the same airline), so we would just have to go through security and not check in or anything. Would four hours be enough to pop in the city, take a quick look around, and come back? If so how much time do you think we could stay in the city?

Will be in Brussels for 5 days first week of September and wish to be near the main international train terminal.

Looking for 3 star or better hotel, or Bed & Breakfast. Worried about bad reports of area around Centre Gare Midi rail terminal. Has the area improved at night?

Had considered Ibis Brussels Centre Gare Midi Hotel but as we are in Brussels for 5 nights think the area especially at night will worry my wife. We intend to take day train trips to Germany and other locations, but would be in Brussells some days.

Does the main Gare Midi rail interconnect with Metro rail system which would allow us to have accommodation in a better area.

Appreciate any suggestions.

Could you help me to find the best way from Brussels to Santander(Spain)by plane, the cheapest flight, or by train?
Thank you.

Thanks

Hello VT members,
I will be visiting Brussels around 23rd of this month. I am planning to stay for one night only and will be traveling from Paris, possibly with morning train.

Can anyone suggest me where to visit in Brussels and around Brussels. I have been thinking of visiting Amsterdam but I am afraid that it is a bit far.

I am with 2 years old daughter and still have to plan carefully.

Thanks for your suggestions in advance.

Hi there,

i am working at the below place fairly soon and was wondering what attractions are nearby.

Brussels Expo Centre
Belgiëplein 1,
B-1020 Brussels
Belgium

I arrive at the airport in Brussels and need to travel to Weert Netherlands, how difficult is it?

Has anyone attended this event? I bought tickets and would love to hear from First Hand experiences. Thanks.

I am traveling in June to Belgium and Paris. In Belgium I would like to see Brugge, Ghent, Brussels, and possibly Antwerp in 4.5 days. After that we are traveling to Paris for 8 days. Here comes the questions.

1. If you had 1 extra day would you A) Stay in Belgium B) Add it to Paris C) Stay in Lille, Fr?
2. Is one day in each city enough? if not, which ones need 2 days?
3. In order what are your favorite cities?
4. I don't want to stay in more than 2 cities while in Belgium, Brugge being one of them. Where should I base myself the other 2 days Brussels or Ghent?
5. If your answer is Ghent for #3...how would you get there from Grande Palace in Brussels?

I know there are many questions and I'm sorry. I just REALLY need help. Copy and pasting is fine for answers if that is easier. (: If you need to know what my interested are to answer the above: Photography, shopping, art, food, and architecture. I appreciate any and all help.

I am flying in to Brussels via my way to Paris. I might stay with a friend in Brussels and want to know the best way to get down town to the train station or to the Euroline bus? Any help is much appreciated!

Hi, I am organising a trip to Brussels for a stag do. We are wanting somewhere not as busy and obvious as the usual stag venues.

Please can anyone recommend some good restaurants, bars and clubs. Also, some sights to see during the day would be good.

Thanks,

Paul.

That's my questions :

1. IS 1 DAY ENOUGH TO SEE BRUSSELS HIGHLIGHTS ?

@. WHAT ABOUT WEATHER IN THE MIDDLE OF APRIL ?

We will be happy to have an answer

Thanks a lot in advance.

I was hoping to get some advice about train booking. My girlfriend and I are going to be in Brussels with 4 other friends/2 couples, from March 20-30. We plan on taking a couple of day/2day trips to Paris and Amsterdam. One couple has already bought their Benelux passes and my other two friends are convinced that buying our tickets when we get there is the way to go. All four of them have been there before and I trust their opinions equally. I am hoping an outside, third party perspective can help in making our decision. THANK YOU!!!!
