Brussels, the European Capital

Brussels , capital of the European Union and that is absolutely noticeable. The European Quarter takes a more and more important place in this city. A place apart that is what Brussels is if you ask the locals. There are numerous hotels in Brussels but not all in the same quality range. Much depends on how much you are willing to spend, it is easy to find a hotel which is perfect for your budget.
Some must knows about Brussels and its reachability:

Public transportation to the airport:

• Trains: You can catch a train in Brussels South, North or Central . Every 15 minutes you will have a train leaving to the National Airport. It takes about 15-20 minutes to arrive. The station in Brussels National Airport is situated beneath the arrival and departure halls. So from the train it will take no more than 5 minutes to reach the main hall.
  
• Car: Risky but managable on certain hours of the day. From the inner city it normally should not take more than 30 minutes to reach the airport but rush hour can be a bit troubeling.
• Metro: you have to take the train to the airport but the city metro stops close to all three major trainstations in Brussels.

Distance to other cities who are definitely worth visiting: Bruges (1h in train), Ghent (30min in train), Anwerp (40 min in train ) and perhaps the seaside Ostend (1.30 form Brussels in train ).

If you are looking for a hotel in Brussels prices can sometimes be a little bit expensives that is why it can be an idea to spend your holiday in a hotel in Bruges as base. Bruges is certainly worth the while to stay.
In Brussels are major hotelchains have a few hotels over there like Sheraton hotels , Eurostars hotels, HUSA hoteles, ...
Here we give you some examples of fine hotels in the city center of Brussels

The amount of hotels is enormous but here are my personal favourites: Hotel Belmont in Brussels is a smaller hotel but also with smaller prices which makes Hotel Belmont a very luxurious budget hotel. Hotel Le Plaza is a luxurious 5 star hotel with excellent service but of course also in the higher price range. If money is not a problem than hotel le Plaza is your place to stay.

Of course Brussels can not be described in a few words, one should most definitely visit this beautiful city.
