Can I travel out of Belgium by Trains?
1864 of the Trains routes we sell touching Belgium cross a border and 1528 stay inside it, reaching 8 other countries including Netherlands, Germany, France. Cross border routes are usually the ones where the fare and the journey time differ most between operators.
Which operators run Trains services in Belgium?
10 operators run Trains services on routes we sell in Belgium: Arriva, DB Fernverkehr, European Sleeper, Eurostar, Eurostar International. Each is a real carrier from the published operator catalog, and each has its own fares and conditions. The operator table on this page compares them on speed, flexibility and what is on board.
What is the longest Trains route in Belgium?
The longest Trains route we sell touching Belgium runs from Brussels to Rome, 1,175 km in a straight line. The median route in the country is 99 km, so this one is a considerable outlier and the fares on it behave differently from the rest.
Where these numbers come from
Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modeled number pass for a filed one.
