Brussels is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. The Brussels-Capital Region is one of Belgium 's three regions. It is officially bilingual (French and Dutch), although it boasts an astonishing variety of languages, cultures, and nationalities. Brussels is the Headquarters of the European Commission, the European Council, the European Parliament, the Committee of the Regions and the European Economic and Social Committee. The city also plays host to NATO and more than 120 international governmental organisations and approximately 1,400 non-governmental organisations. With 159 embassies and 2,500 diplomats Brussels ranks second in the world in terms of diplomatic representations. Thus, the importance of Brussels is not just confined to European affairs. The city has such a wide impact on the world at large that it has become an extremely attractive place for doing business.

Brussels International is Belgium's main airport.

Most easy is the train. You can take the Intercity train to Oostende or Knokke/Blankenberge from the three main Brussels stations (Noord/Nord, Centraal/Central and Zuid/Midi). After leaving Brussels Zuid next stop afther half an hour is Gent-Sint-Pieters and another 20 minutes later you arrive in Bruges.

Reservation is not needed, just buy a ticket and jump on the train, there is one every half an hour all day long. Avoid the rush hours (leaving between 16:00 and 17:30 on working days). Also on sunny days these trains can be crowdy because it is the main connection to the coast. On that moments a first class ticket can be a good option.

If you rent a car, leave Brussels on the West or take the ringway to the E40 direction Gent - Brugge - Oostende. It is a 100 km ride.

The record is 1:43.
