In recent years, Belgium has become increasingly popular among Russian tourists. More than 300 thousand tourists from Russia visit the capital of this state - Brussels annually. And three years ago there were no more than 40 thousand of them a year. So progress is evident.
Instructions
Step 1
The fastest way to get to Brussels is by plane, especially since there are plenty of flights from Moscow there. Aeroflot airliners fly from Sheremetyevo airport to the capital, Belgian airlines take off from Domodedovo, and Transaero airlines fly from Vnukovo to Brussels. The flight time is 3 hours 35 minutes.
Step 2
For those who cannot stand the plane or are simply afraid to fly, there is a good alternative - traveling from Moscow to Brussels by bus. Once a week, a bus departs from the Rizhsky railway station, following the route "Moscow - Brussels". Travel time is about 45 hours, provided that there are no serious congestions and delays at the border.
Step 3
There is another option for ground movement - traveling by long-distance train. True, it is possible only with a transfer. For example, you can take the Moscow - Paris train, which departs from the Belorussky railway station three times a week. And after arriving in the capital of France, get to the Gare du Nord and leave by train "Paris - Brussels". The total travel time will take 52 hours.
Step 4
There are also travelers who like to travel by their own car. It should be remembered that a Schengen visa must be issued, otherwise a trip from Moscow to Brussels will become impossible. The journey to Brussels begins on the M1 Belarus highway, which leads, in fact, to Belarus, where it joins the P-99 highway. After Belarus, you need to drive through Poland along the E-67 highway, and then move through Germany, bypassing its capital - Berlin. Well, after the German land there will be Belgium, where you can get to the outskirts of Brussels along the A-3 and E-34 highways. Travel time in the absence of serious traffic jams and congestion will take about 33 hours.
Step 5
In the second option of traveling by car, in addition to Belarus, through which the P-99 highway goes, Poland with the E-67 highway, you can drive along the E-65 highway, which passes through the Czech Republic and smoothly passes into the German part of the E-67 highway. And after Germany it is necessary to move again along the Belgian routes A-3 and E-34 to Brussels. However, in this case the trip will last a little longer.
