Brussels Getting Around

Easily accessed on foot
Brussels is a compact city that is best covered on foot, although it does boast an excellent public transport system which is easy to negotiate and advised to take advantage of. Belgium has a well-developed transport network with excellent national and international connections.

Metros & Trams
Many of the Metro stations in Brussels are decorated with works of art. There are many of them, and most of which are accessible for disabled people. Also, brightly coloured trams weave throughout the city - both under and over ground. The underground trains are called 'Prémetro'.

Train
The high speed railway network at the heart of Europe has links to Paris, Amsterdam, Köln and London.

Taxi
Brussels has an astonishing 600 taxi ranks throughout the city so don't expect them to stop if you try and hail them in the street. It is also advised to check that the meter is on when you get in, as well as being a legal requirement to take a receipt when you leave.

Bicycle
The leisurely and healthier way to get around Brussels on a short break. Bicycle hire and guided bicycle tours offer an alternative view of the city.

Safe Motorways
Belgium possesses one of the most developed motorway networks which also happens to be one of the safest, with lights along every motorway, remaining illuminated throughout the night.
