Getting Around in Brussels
It's fairly easy and inexpensive to move about within Brussels.

A single ticket can be purchased in the bus and trams for 2 euros and can be used anywhere on the STIB network (metro's, trams and buses) for 1 hour.
The network is quite comprehensive so it's fairly easy to hop from one location of Brussels to another. Once you purchase a ticket, you'll need to stamp it using one of the machines located at the station, tram or bus. Don't forget to stamp your ticket - if you're caught without a valid ticket there are hefty fines of up to 55 Euros.

There are various options for discounted tickets depending on your length of stay - for around 30 Euros you can grab a "Brussels Card" which allows unlimited public transport travel for three days as well as free admission to various landmarks.
For 10 journeys : 11,00 €
For 1 day: 4,00 €
For 3 days : 9,50 €
You can buy them in railway stations and all the big metro stations.
Some can be found in Newspaper shops or even in supermarkets.

Public transport in Brussels is made up of a comprehensive yet easy to navigate train system that's well supported by a further network of trams and buses.

The Tram network is a good way of navigating around the city centre. Trams are quite frequent and not only meander through Brussels town centre but also reach much of the deeper suburban areas.

Pick up a free map/timetable from the information point in Gare du Midi, Porte de Namur and Rogier.

The STIB also operates a bus network throughout the city and this operates at night-time (with less regularity).

All trains come in to Brussels in 3 main train stations, Brussels Nord (north), Brussels central (best one to get out) and Brussels Midi (south).
All train tickets can be bought in the stations.

First of all, you have to learn to recognise a real Brussels taxi, without getting it wrong.

How?

By identifying the sign on the roof of the vehicle.
In the jargon this is known as the 'sputnik'.
It bears the letters T - A - X - I ,in red on a white background, with the yellow iris on a blue background - the symbol of the Brussels-Capital Region - above it.
In addition, a Brussels taxi is usually black or white.

Where can you find a Brussels taxi ?

There are three possibilities:

1. either you can phone a taxi firm or a radio exchange, which will send you a vehicle.

TAXIS BLEUS
Tel 0032 2 268 00 00

TAXIS VERTS
Tel 0032 2 349 49 49

TAXI ORANGE
Tel 0032 2 349 43 43

TAXI CAPITAL
Tel 0032 2 427 77 77

2. or you can go to a nearby taxi rank

3. or you can hail a taxi in the street by signalling to the driver (but only if you are more than 100 meters from a taxi rank).

Finally, check that the taxi has a taximeter linked to a printer and that the prices are clearly indicated.

For the active tourist, navigating through the city on foot is a distinct possibility. Many of the interesting landmarks are located fairly close together, which makes walking a pleasurable way of seeing the town, particularly in the warmer months. Be sure to grab a map before setting out.
