Brussels to Bruges

Hi

We are taking a trip to Bruges via Eurostar and the ticket includes the train to Bruges.

Can anyone tell me what train do we get and is it from the same station.

What platform (if pos).

How many stops to Bruges.

Where can I get a detailed map of Bruges before we go?

Any help will be most appreciated.

Eurostar arrives at Brussels Midi/Zuid. You can get trains to Bruges from that station. They are local IC trains. You will have to change platforms, you will need to check the board when you get there. There are trains about twice an hour. The journey is approximately an hour. You will have no problem finding the train. Remember it may be spelled Brugge, and Brussels is probably Bruxelles. I found a map in my Rick Steves guidebook. Imagine most guidebooks that cover Bruges would have one.

Thank you very much for your reply and the info.

The trains to Bruges (Brugge) depart from the Brussels South (Brussel-Zuid/Bruxelles-Midi) station at 5 (direction Knokke) and 32 minutes (direction Ostend) past the hour; there are possibly some other extra trains.

The trains will just call at Ghent, the second stop is Brugge. Other/extra trains might stop also elsewhere.

Please note that in Bruges the train back to Brussels will be indicated as the train to Brussel.

Also, when we caught a 10 a.m. train to Brugges after transferring in Brussels...the train was packed with people and we had to stand in the aisle the whole way there---along with many many other people throught the whole train!!!. It wasn%26#39;t too bad...we were just suprised by this.

The train back to Brussels had many open seats.

Thank you both very much, that%26#39;s really useful info.
