By rail
Belgium lies at many crossroads and is a small country so train services are excellent. High Speed options Eurostar (www.eurostar.com) and Thalys (www.thalys.com) takes you to and from London/Lille and Paris, Amsterdam/Cologne respectively. All in short time. There are also the pure Belgian national trains which run between Germany and the Belgian coast via Brussels as well as from Brussels to Luxemburg via the Ardennes towns. Apart from that, there it also runs a lot of smaller lines. National trains in Belgium are very cheap and even cheaper Saturday to Monday when there is a weekend rate. You can also get special "Excursion tickets" which include both train fare and the entrance to well-known sights throughout the country. Ask for a booklet at major stations.
