Brussels Transport

The integrated bus, tram and metro transport system is efficient and extremely clean. Tickets can be bought at metro stations and most newsagents but remember that they need to be stamped at the ticket barrier. Note that trams and buses stop on request only! There are a variety of ticket options available including five or ten journey tickets and a two-person weekend ticket. The Tourist Passport includes cut-price admissions to selected attractions and 2 one-day travel cards.

Day Trips

When in Brussels you can easily make day trips to nearby cities. In fact in the whole of Belgium the furthest two points are less than 200 miles apart! Bruges is just an hour’s train ride away, and remains one of the most beautiful, medieval cities in Europe and Belgium’s top tourist attraction. You can wander along the streets viewing the museums, charming restaurants and cafes. Meanwhile Antwerp even closer by is located on a bend on the River Schelde. It boasts twenty museums and the largest Gothic Church in Belgium, as well as being known as ‘the Diamond City’ - certainly a worthwhile destination for a day trip.
