Getting around
Brussels is an absolute doddle to get around, with public transport being a solid choice for stag groups. The public transport network is operated by STIB / MIVB and provides Metro, tram and bus services across the city. Buying your fare is simple and can easily be done using your contactless credit or debit card, smartphone or smartwatch. Contactless payment devices are available on every STIB bus and tram in addition to each Metro station in the city
We would definitely recommend looking into the Brussels Card for your trip; it’s an absolute winner and will provide you with unlimited travel on public transport for either 24, 48 or 72 hours. But it’s not just travel that this handy card is good for; you’ll also be able to enjoy access to the city’s 49 museums, free information guides and discounts across attractions, shops and restaurants - this one really is a no-brainer! If you want to find out a bit more about Brussels public transport options, then read on as we’ve got all the info you’ll need!
Private Airport Transfers
Let’s face it, as soon as you land at Brussels Airport, you and the rest of the lads will want to get the good times started right away! So why not consider getting a private airport transfer sorted? Driven by a friendly chauffeur, you and the rest of the group will be picked up from the airport and taken straight to your accommodation. It’ll be completely hassle free and you won’t have to hang about waiting for buses and taxis. Best of all, we'll do the hard work for you! Leave it all to us and we’ll organise a private and comfortable transfer for your group - all you’ll have to worry about is where your first beer stop will be once you’ve dropped off your bags. If you’d like to enjoy the same luxury of a private transfer on the day of departure, just let us know and we’ll get that booked in for you too!
Metro
Brussels Metro service is without a doubt one of the quickest ways to travel around the city and will get you to your destination in a flash. The network is made up of six lines; four conventional Metro lines and two premetro lines (underground tramways). Generally, Metro services run frequently, and there’s usually a service every three minutes or so during peak hours. After 8pm, this changes to around every 10 minutes. On weekends, services run every five minutes. The Metro is very reliable and efficient, however, delays may happen on occasion.
Tram
The city’s trams are another easy way to get from A to B during your Brussels stag do. The network’s 17 tramlines stretch over 147 km and are powered by renewable energy, so nice and eco-friendly! They’re a popular choice for tourists and are generally a little faster than buses (but not as quick as the Metro!). Perfect for whizzing across the city, you and your group will be able to hop on and off as you discover the city’s various landmarks and neighbourhoods.
Bus
Buses in Brussels are a convenient way to reach areas that aren’t serviced by the Metro or trams. We’d recommend totally avoiding the buses at peak times, as they’re pretty notorious for getting stuck in traffic and being all round slow. Just as an FYI, it’s good to know that buses operating in Brussels’ suburbs are run by different providers; they’ll either be run by Flemish De Lijn or Wallonian TEC, both of which have their own ticketing systems. The likelihood is that you won’t be using buses much (if at all!) and if you are, you’ll be using the buses around the more central areas. Do bear in mind that buses are much more infrequent than the Metro
Trains
There’s also a great intercity train service in Brussels, however it’s better suited to groups looking to head to a different city in Belgium for a day trip. Trains are operated by SNCB (NMBS), therefore tickets for services offered by STIB (MVIB) will not be accepted. On a stag do, your best bet for getting around will be using the Metro or the trams, however if you fancy checking out another top location in Belgium from Brussels, then look no further than the train.
Taxis
If you’re looking for a door to door service, then taxis are always a great shout. They’re safe and reliable and offer a convenient alternative if you’re not a fan of using public transport. But do be aware! Taxis in Brussels are pretty expensive, with some saying that they’re one of the priciest ways to get around in the whole of Europe. If that doesn’t put you off, then it’s good to know that there’s plenty of taxi ranks dotted around the city, or you can usually hail one from the street. Taxis here aren’t overly distinctive, usually a black Mercedes - they will have a sign on their roof stating taxi, so that should help you narrow it down! Uber also operates in Brussels, so you’ll be able to order, track and pay for your ride through the app as usual.
