Brussels questions
Is 5 days enough for Brussels?
Five days covers central sights plus a Ghent day trip. Use the metro and tram lines to reach the Atomium and European Quarter without wasting time on transfers.
Do I need to book the Horta Museum ahead?
Book the Horta Museum online at least one week in advance. Timed slots are required and often sell out on weekends.
How do I get from Brussels to Ghent for a day trip?
Take the train from Brussels Midi to Ghent St Pieters station. It runs every 30 minutes, costs 10 to 15 euros each way, and takes 30 minutes.
Do I need tickets for the Parlamentarium in advance?
Reserve free Parlamentarium tickets online before arrival. Entry is limited to specific time slots during busy periods.
