Belgium questions

Is three days enough for Brussels?

Three days covers central Brussels and the main museums. Plan walks between sites in the Lower Town and use trams for the European Quarter to stay on schedule.

Do I need to book the Horta Museum ahead?

Book the Horta Museum ticket online the day before your visit. Timed entry reduces waiting and fits better with a morning start from Saint-Gilles.

How do I get from the Grand Place to the European Quarter?

Take tram 92 or 93 from the Bourse stop to the European Quarter in 15 minutes. A single ticket costs 2.10 euros and allows transfers.

Do I need tickets for the Parlamentarium in Brussels?

Reserve a free timed slot for the Parlamentarium online before arrival. Walk from the Sablon area or take a five-minute metro ride from central Brussels.

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.

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.
