Getting Around Getting around Belgium is cheap and easy, which makes up for the rather expensive, and often heavily booked, accommodation. While there are plenty of buses and a hiring a car is an easy enough option, the country's transport system is dominated by its efficient rail network. The fastest services are the InterCity trains, backed up by InterRegional and local trains. In the more remote areas, buses take up the slack. Taxis, which lurk outside most train stations, are metered and expensive.
Cycling is popular in the flat north and many roads have separate lanes for bikes.
Railway stations rent bikes. It's also possible to hire a boat to cruise along the many rivers and canals. Lonely Planet Publications Pty. Ltd. All rights reserved.
