Train to Rotterdam from Brussels..
 
Hi,
I'm looking for the least expensive train from Brussels. How much will it be and how can I book it?

Thank you..

It's about an 1.5 hour trip.

www.thalys.com

~35E for economy

~45E for first class

izzo,

There are hourly intercity trains between Brussels and Rotterdam, the journey takes about 2 hours. No need to book in advance as there are no reserved seats anyway, just get a ticket at the station before departure.

The Thalys service is less frequent, more expensive and hardly any quicker (max. 20 min, and that's if you are staying close to Midi station) on this route.

Full fare 2nd class is EUR 24.

Hope this helps,

Thanks, that does help. Andre, is it 24 euros one way or roundtrip?

Thanks again!

You're welcome izzo!

The price I quoted is one way, exact fare is actually EUR 23,60.

Here's an overview of available fares:
