Transfert en voiture privée de Heidelberg à Brussels

There are many different ways to reach your destination, but the top three involve taking the A3, A6, and A61. The A3 and A61 take you through Germany, then cross the Netherlands before entering Belgium. The A6 brings you straight from Germany to Belgium but gets you really close to Luxembourg’s border.

You’re probably going to need to get out of the car to stretch your legs at some point, so why not stop at one of these cities along the way:

• Bonn
• Cologne
• Aachen
• Maastricht
• Leuven
• Liege

One of the cool features of this region is the ample number of roads that can lead you to your destination which allows you to easily make a detour and then hop right back on your route.

Political importance

Brussels, the capital of Belgium, is also known as the de facto capital of the European Union, housing major EU institutions such as:

• European Parliament
• European Council / Council of the EU
• European Commission
• European External Action Service
• European Economic and Social Committee (EESC)
• European Committee of the Regions (CoR)
• European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS)

Its political importance is mirrored in the city's cultural vibrancy. Brussels is home to numerous museums, theaters, and galleries that reflect its diverse cultural heritage. One of the most iconic landmarks in Brussels is the Grand Place, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The people of Brussels

Brussels is home to about 1.2 million inhabitants, and about 32% of the people living there are surprisingly not Belgian but foreigners. This has created an international atmosphere where you can easily walk down the street and hear English, Arabic, Chinese, Italian, German, Spanish, and many other languages, all within a few minutes.

With a wide variety of people living in Brussels, they’ve also imported their local food culture, making it possible to find many different types of dishes. However, when in Brussels you must try the waffles, the fries, the chocolate, and, if you drink, the beer.

Pack so you never lack

Packing appropriate clothes for the weather is a must. As any “Brusselaar” can confirm, Brussels gets about 200 days of rain a year. And sometimes, when it rains, it pours. We suggest having a small umbrella, waterproof shoes, and a water-resistant jacket with a hood as well.

Don’t worry if you forget them because you can shop all over the center and find these items. In many areas of the center, the streets are cobblestone, which means you should bring comfortable shoes that allow you to walk well.

Important information

Don’t be scared. Brussels is pretty safe, even for solo female travelers. However, if you’re out alone at night, use caution, especially when walking in certain neighborhoods near Gare du Midi (also known as Zuid or Midi).

Heidelberg to Brussels by train

The price range for all of these options goes from $38 (€35) to $154 (€142).

Heidelberg to Brussels by car

Catch a movie with the locals

Kinepolis Brussels is a movie theater that offers a futuristic experience. It has 12.1 sound technology and laser projection to make movies crisp and the sound quality lifelike.

Leave the theater and see the Atomium

We wouldn’t be exaggerating if we said Kinepolis Brussels is a 60-second walk from the Atomium. Completed in 1958, this is one of the tallest constructions in Belgium, standing at 355 feet tall (102 meters).

From the Atomium to the city

The metro station Heysel (French) or Heizel (Dutch) is located right next to both the theater and the Atomium. Be mindful that most stops have two names, and depending on the language that locals speak, they might prefer one name over the other. This means you should know the name of your stop in two languages.

Try the food

The taste-testing spot that most travelers frequent is Fritland. They serve traditional Belgian fries alongside other traditional Belgian fast food options like:

• Fricadelle
• Mitraillette
• Sandwich hamburger
• Brochette
• Carrero
• Poulycroc

For a more private dining experience with great service, Brussels also has many Michelin-starred restaurants. Comptoir des Galeries, Aux Armes de Bruxelles, and De l'Ogenblik are three that you can choose from.

Get a hands-on experience

Engage in local workshops and tours. Some chocolate workshops can take 90 minutes to 2.5 hours, which is perfect if you have other activities planned for the day. This particular company also offers chocolate-making kits so that you can experience the process from the comfort of your home.

You might also want to plan your trip around events. Every May, you’ll have the chance to attend the Brussels Jazz Marathon, and each December, you'll have the chance to explore Christmas markets.

Year-round there are great social opportunities at pubs, clubs, and party spots that you can find here.
