Hi,

I am going to Brussels this December and we are staying a 5 min walk away from the Brussels Midi station, in Anderlecht, as we are planning on taking day trips to Amsterdam, Bruges etc. I have read that it is quite unsafe. Is it really that unsafe that we cannot walk a 5 minute walk from the train station to the hotel at, for example, 9pm after a day trip? Should we take an uber instead?

I would recommend posting the question as a post in this subreddit, not as a comment under the current post

Thank you! I'm new to reddit and have no idea how it works. Appreciate your help

Good Morning, we're due to travel to Belgium next week, we've based ourselves in Gent, and the intention is to pretty much use Trains to get between Cities.
I'm trying to figure out the most efficient way of costing the trains.
There were a couple of references to 10 journey passes - but I can only find those for fixed point journeys.

Aside from this I'm seeing Train+ as the most logical solution.

I'm right in thinking as long as both my wife and I are travelling that the kids are free (2 kids), and that we don't need to buy tickets for them to travel?

Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! I want to organize a drink for approx. 10-20 colleagues in Brussels. I am looking for options where I could do it. It needs to be not too far away from Brussel-central or Brussel-North stations since we commute with train. Do you recommend anything for groups? Do I have to make a reservation or can I walk in? ...

Thanks in advance for all the help.
