How to get to Belgium flight-free from UK
Being at the political heart of Europe, Belgium, and in particular Brussels, is one of the most accessible places to get to by train or coach.
How to get to Belgium by rail
Regular Eurostar/Thalys trains run from London to Brussels taking around 2 hours. However, Eurostar can be expensive, particularly at short notice.
How to get to Belgium by coach
It takes 6 hours 40 mins by coach from London to Brussels but there are shorter journeys which might make more sense depending on your circumstances.
It takes just over three hours from Dover to Bruges and the next stop, Ghent is half an hour down the road.
