Master the Weekend Train Ticket

Belgium boasts one of the densest and most efficient railway networks in the world, making it incredibly easy to base yourself in one city and take day trips. However, the smartest way to travel is by utilizing the SNCB/NMBS Weekend Ticket.

From 7:00 PM on Friday until Sunday evening, return tickets between any two Belgian stations are discounted by 50%. This is a massive saving if you are planning weekend excursions to popular destinations like Bruges, Ghent, or Antwerp from Brussels.

You can easily purchase these tickets via the official SNCB app or at the station kiosks. Just remember that the discount only applies to round-trip (return) journeys, not one-way tickets, and you must complete your return journey on the same weekend.
