Si, è così. Io ho fatto il biglietto online con l'app "train" con l'iPhone, si può scegliere prima o seconda classe ma non c'è il n di posto assegnato. Se ricordo bene però avevo una indicazione sull'orario. Il treno parte direttamente dall'aeroporto (o dalla stazione di Bruxelles Midi) e per l'andata ho fatto scalo a Gant

The only one and then catch a bus or taxi into the centre

yes there are boat trips in december , but please take warm clothing

Good morning, There is a direct IC train from the airport to Brugge without changing the train. It takes 90 minutes( by car 80 minutes).

We also found the free walking tour to be very good and interesting. You pay what you think it was worth...and it was very good. It takes a few hours and well worth the time.

We took the car and drove. Door to door six - seven hours and no problem with baggage.

agood Ten Minutes but lots to see on the way

We have recently done a similar tour with Azamara and you need to factor in a minimum one hour travelling to and from Ostende where your ship is most likely to be berthed. There is, however, plenty of interesting attractions to see but a 3-4 hours Guided Tour should suffice for your first visit.

You need to go Brussels South station (the same one as the Euro train). There are usually about 2 trains an hour but none of them are directly to Bruges. We took the Ostend train traveling to Bruges and the Brussels train back. Beautiful city hope you enjoy it.

We stayed in Martin's Brugge. Hotel was great though changed from an attic room due to steep steps. Otherwise wonderful and nice restaurants on same street.
