Hi there,

Myself, my boyfriend and a few friends of ours are going to Brussels for new years. Have you any tips on where to go night life wise? We're in our mid twenties.

Is the airport far from the main centre?

Where would you recommend accomodation wise / restaurant wise?

Thanks a million!

Hi All,

I used to be active on VT (took a long break) and back again. I live in Brussels now - wondering if we have enough people (or interest) in organizing a VT meet (somewhere in the city center).

We can either do it before the holidays or after...just starting the thought process.

Cheers

Hey.

We will be arriving to Brussels on Dec. 2nd and staying until Dec. 6th. I was just wondering, other than the huge Christmas Market that begins in November, are there any other Christmas related things to do around the city? I've tried looking, but for the most part I get information regarding the big Christmas Market in Brussels. We will also be in Antwerp from 6th to 9th (leaving to Amsterdam morning of the 9th). Maybe somebody knows a website with a list of events/things to do for December because I'm cannot find anything. I usually travel in Spring/Summer, so going places in December is new to me, so I am trying to get the most out of European Christmas experience this December.

Thanks for any help

Hello,
We will arive in Brussels on friday afternoon and I'm wondering whether there is possible to skip parking fees during the weekend if I park on the street near the hotel? The question is how much is the parking fee for one hour and does it valid during the weekends also? Does the following true: "Street parking rates vary, and apply Monday to Saturday 0900-1300 and 1430-1900, with free street parking available on Sunday and holidays".

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

First of all let me thank soncerely all the fellow VT'ers for so much help and guidance.

We will be in Brussels from Sep 3 till Sep 6, Staying at Scandic Hotel.
Talking of Scandic, Thanks to H.B. Capri, I got a smoking deal at Scandic hotel - 72Euro per night including breakfast for 2. If any one is going to Brussels they should check the Scandic site. They are running a 3 night special.

Back to my question:

Are there any travel passes for can be used on Metro, bus and tram (if any) , just like the Paris Navigo or Mobilis passes?

Kindly give all the guidance u can.

Thank you all

This may be a silly question. I am 65 (just) and plan to travel from Brussels to Bruges this coming Monday 15 June. I hope to avail of the great discount for over-65s, but I don't know yet if I can make the trip, or at what precise time. Can I walk up to a station ticket office in Brussels on Monday morning, or do I have to book online to get this discount? Any information warmly welcomed.
