Getting to Hasselt

Taking the train or bus instead of the plane: it does make a big difference.  The new UHasselt policy (as of May 1) calls for taking the train for destinations that can be reached in 8h by train. Are you curious which destinations you can reach in less than 8h by train? The FWO made a convenient map. (pdf, 135 KB) And also these websites can help you further: Direkt Bahn Guru (overview of direct train connections from every station in Europe). Who knows, maybe you will leave on an adventure with the night train? Take a look at Europe's night train connections and some mood photos.

Here some more interesting links to book international train travel:
