Great value and easy to use.
Superb value for money and so easy to use. Saved a lot of hassle on the Metro and trams, not to mention in the museums.
it's a very good experience, our guide explains everything in details and the condition of the bus is very good.
Travel cardspasses are great money - and time - savers. All of the best activities and tourist stops are covered in one low price, and no line waiting at the hottest attractions. Definitely recommended.
I feel the Brussels Card gave me some reassurance coming to a 'foreign land' not knowing their transport systems, so the 72-hr card gave me the freedom to travel on the metro whenever and wherever I wanted. I did notice however that there are no ticket checks and the turnstiles were always open, so the card wasn't needed as many locals just hopped on and off without validating any tickets in the yellow machines. Although I did pop my travel ticket in at the beginning of my trip. Was their transport free? I enjoyed the free entry at many museums and discounts at the Atomium, mini-Europe, and restaurants. I did a lot of walking as I discovered after day 1 it was quicker to get from Rogier Place to Grand Place on foot via the pedestrianised shopping street, Rue Neuve, than waiting 8 minutes for the metro to arrive. I did not understand the bus system, so I chose to either tram, metro or walk the town. Brussels is eclectically a beautiful architectural city and the people are courteous and make one feel welcome. Like any city, it also has its dirty streets and public places, but on the whole I enjoyed my visit and the taste of the food and art. I may be back some day again!
Even if you end up spending more on the card than you would have on admissions, it's a bargain. Clutching the card in your hot little hand allows you to bypass the pesky lines at the major museums, and lets you into a lot of the small ones. You also get unlimited transportation on all metro, trams, and buses, saving the hassle of buying individual tickets.
Great value for money. We took the 24 hour card and saw 7 museums in one day. Also used the vouchers for eating out. Great if you need ideas for things to do.
The Brussels card was easy to redeem, easy to use, and paid for itself the first day.
Very good value for money. It was easy to collect - took the stress away from arriving in a new city and trying to work out how to use the public transport. Used it in several museums.
Lots of discounts.
Relatively good value for money. Easy to operate. I did not test the benefits at the eat places and shops in the book!
The tourist office in the train station was not open at the listed hours. I lost a couple of hours tracking down the other tourist office to get my Brussels Card. Otherwise, it was great.
Investing in a Brussels Card prior to our trip made transport and visits to museums and art galleries very straightforward, and good value for money if you had a busy itinerary and used it well.
We went to Brussels to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. Buying a Brussels card made life much easier for us. It was so easy just to hop on and off the public transport without worrying if you had the correct change for the machines. It was nice just to walk into a museum and not have to pay for it. We didn't have a lot of spare time to visit the art galleries - we'll have to come back another time and buy another Brussels card to do all the galleries, there are so many of them!
We would recommend Brussels and the Brussels card to anyone thinking of travelling to Belgium in the future, it is a great place to spend a long weekend.
The card for the U-Bahn was well worth the money. The Atomium was a joke but Mini Europe was very good. I did not have enough time to fully use the card but I like the idea of it as in Paris and Dublin etc. really good idea.
