Hasselt Transportation

We love our mayor here in Hasselt . And the reason for that is that he made all the busses in and around the city free. No pay. Free ride for everyone. You can get a brochure for all the timetables and routes off the busses at the busstation.

Travelling around Hasselt with the city bus is free of charge. All buses lead to the Stationsplein. And you won't have to wait any longer than half an hour. Just get on, no need to pay. These are lines H1 to H9, shuttle bus BP and CP, H11, H12.

By car:
From east to west : the E 314 (Köln, Aachen, Heerlen, Hasselt, Brussels, Oostende), exit 29, 10 km north of Hasselt.
From north to south : the E 313 (Antwerp, Hasselt, Liège), exits 27BIS, 28 or 29.

By train:
Hasselt is also within easy reach from all railway stations in Belgium.
There are IC-connections (every hour, 7 days a week) to Hasselt from Oostende, Brugge, Gent, Brussels, Antwerpen and Liège.

Hasselt is a small city. It is easy to do everything on foot. Here is a map of the walk we did (see my 'must see activity' section for the walk).

Hasselt is an IC station. This means that whether you travel from Antwerp, Bruges, Brussels, Gent, Liege for instance, there is a direct train on the hour, seven days a week.

Many years ago - this was the way to transport local goods - the museum will show you the different ways - and the importance of transport !
