We’re receiving thousands of calls and emails right now, and it’s taking longer than usual for us to reply to everybody. We’d strongly encourage you not to call our contact centre, but to check eurostar.com for all the latest info instead.  For any other requests or questions, you can use this contact us form. Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Trains from Ashford to Brussels

Take a train to Brussels

Get to Ashford International station at our recommended arrival time to allow plenty of time to get through border controls and security.  You can download your ticket to your phone, use our app or print it at home. Once onboard, sit back and relax in our comfy seats and in just 1 hour 37 minutes you’ll be in the centre of Brussels.

What’s on board?

If you’re travelling in Standard Premier or Business you’ll get a complimentary meal served at your seat.  There are also plug points for either continental or UK plugs at every seat. Feeling peckish in Standard? Don’t worry, visit Café Métropole, our onboard bar buffet for drinks and snacks to keep hunger at bay.

Arriving at Brussels-Midi/Zuid

Eurostar trains arrive into the centre of town at Brussels-Midi/Zuid (Brussels South) station.

On arrival you’ve plenty of choice of public transport with STIB trams and metros, and the De Lijn or Tec bus networks.

Alternatively hop in a taxi or, if you’re feeling adventurous, why not walk – it’s only about 20 mins to some of the best shopping areas in town.

From 8 November, the temporary ticket office will be located between platforms 12 and 13. Please allow extra time to find it, or ask a member of staff to direct you. Or why not simply download the Eurostar app and use it to buy, exchange and store your tickets?

Multi-cultural Brussels

A true mélange of cultures, Brussels is where francophone Wallonia and Dutch-speaking Flanders meet, so prepare to order a Belgian waffle in French next to a Dutch-style guildhall.

Move over, moules-frites

When in Brussels you must try carbonade flamande, a deliciously rich beef stew. Then, tick off two favourites in one and order a glass of chocolate beer. Trust us – it’s exquisite.

A city for all seasons

Brussels boasts everything from music and flowers to art and craft, food and (naturally) beer.

Don’t miss the Manneken

No trip to Brussels is complete without a visit to the Manneken Pis, who from time to time has his modesty restored with anything from judo kit to a full Father Christmas outfit.
