Newbie_In_NamurHey guys, i am planning a big trip and wondering how far can you travel by train from Brussels, i just found out that the network is huge but i am kinda lost about where the direct lines go and how long it actually takes to get somewhere far away like in another country or even just the next city over
Accepted answer
love_belgium_xDirect trains go to Paris, Amsterdam, Luxembourg, Cologne, Frankfurt, and Munich, it is sooo easy! Most of Belgium is within 3 hours of Brussels, but the longest trip is to Vienna which is 920 km and takes about 14 hours
NotSoSure_92The areas around the outskirts are not as good as the city center though !
map_readerSome travelers find the rail system a bit complicated because there are so many different carriers and regional systems. i think it can be a bit confusing at times. thanks
newbie_notes2I used chronotrains.com once - it helped me see how far I could go in a set time.
been_there_done_thatBrussels Central is much safer and more chill... unlike Brussels South or North stations... which can be a bit much at night!
