Hostel - is the location okay?

Hi all,

I will be staying in the 2Go4 Hostel while on a 2 day trip?

Does anyone know/have any experience of it?

Location wise it appears to be near all the %26quot;main attractions%26quot;, is that a fair point?

Are the main attractions all within walking distance or is there a bit of bus/train/ taxi use needed?

Attractions we%26#39;re interested in are:

Comic musuem,

Musical instrument museum.

Atomium

Little Europe.

Parliment.

Churches

It%26#39;s in Bd. E. Jacqmain, not far from Rogier on one side and De Brouckère on the other.

Anywhere in Bxl 1000 is near all the %26quot;main attractions%26quot;, the closest of the ones you mention would be the Comic Strip Museum, which is no more than 10 minutes%26#39; walk away on the other side of rue Neuve (pedestrianized shopping street). Although you don%26#39;t mention these, it is a good 15 minute walk to the Grand%26#39; Place and Galeries St. Hubert (for the GP you can take the metro - here, an underground tram - from Rogier to Bourse, which would be the 3rd stop.

I would advise you to buy a 1-day ticket for use on trams/buses/metros as the Atomium and Little Europe are out at Heysel (take metro from Rogier and change at Simonis or De Brouckère and change at Beekkant onto line 6) and the Musical Instrument Museum at Place Royale (easiest way to get there if starting from the hostel would be metro from Rogier to Botanique and then tram to Place Royale).

There are 4 parliaments in Brussels: European, Belgian (federal), Brussels Region, Flemish Region; if you mean the European one it%26#39;s near Place de Luxembourg, take metro to Trône and then bus to Luxembourg (or walk towards the %26quot;jukebox%26quot;, you can see it from where you come out at Trône onto rue du Luxembourg).

The main churches are the cathedral of St. Michel %26amp; Ste. Gudule (not far from end of Galeries St. Hubert furthest from the GP) and Notre Dame du Sablon. Not far from your hostel, in rue Neuve opposite Inno you have Notre Dame du Finistère which has a nice stained glass window.
