    Train / Tram: How to reach Oostende?
  • Tip Rating:
  • Plane, train, boat, .... There's no transport that doesn't bring you to Oostende.
    The best way to get around in Oostende and along the coast is the tram. Low in price and great in service.
    The train brings you to all the other big cities in Belgium (Brugge, Gent, Antwerpen, Brussel,...) check the site of the railway company www.nmbs.be .
    Oostende isn't that big, it's easy to explore the city on foot.

    The bus
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you plan to go far around Ostend, the cheapest and easiest way is to take the bus. Every 10-15 minutes you see long busses pass that drive along the whole city for +- €1

    Getting to Oostende is a snap. From England, you can take a boat, but chances are more likely that you'll be hopping a train. Oostende is the western terminus to the major line that runs from Brussels through Gent and Brugge. As a result, trains run all the time, allowing Belgians from all over the country the ability to spend a summer afternoon in Oostende and still make it home for bedtime.

    Around the corner from the massive train station is a tram station -- a light rail line runs from Oostende up and down the coast between the Dutch and French borders. This makes Oostende a perfect stop on the way to smaller resorts, such as De Haan.
