Travel By Public Transport
Recommended. Use of the Brussels public transportation system!
It is very efficient, frequent, on time and not more expensive than in any other major city in Europe.
It helps improve (or at least not increase) the traffic congestion, pollution and... your nerves when dealing with the "brussels way" of driving, the problem for parking and the famous "priority from the right" rule...
