By car
The car is one way to get to Brussels, from other European capitals and from every town in Belgium.
Brussels is centrally located in Belgium and in Western Europe. The Brussels-Capital Region can be reached by car or motorbike from Paris, Amsterdam, Düsseldorf or the coast.
Brussels is served by seven motorways:
- A10 – E40, from the Belgian coast, Ostend (Oostende) and Ghent (Gent)
- A12, from Antwerp (Antwerpen)
- A1 – E19, also from Antwerp (Antwerpen) and the Netherlands
- A201, from Brussels National Airport (Zaventem)
- A3 – E40, from Leuven and Liege
- A4 – E411, from Namur and Luxembourg
- A7 – E19, from Mons, Charleroi and France (Paris)
Good to know
Belgian motorways are free at source.
Generally speaking, the speed limits are as follows:
- 120 kph on motorways
