Die EuroCity-Züge sorgen für eine günstige, tägliche Verbindung zwischen Belgien und den Niederlanden. Sie bringen Sie mehrmals täglich von Brüssel nach Rotterdam (und umgekehrt), mit Zwischenstopps in (mittelgroßen) Städten wie Antwerpen, Mechelen und Breda.
Von den Bahnhöfen in Breda und Rotterdam aus können Sie problemlos zu anderen Zielen in den Niederlanden weiterreisen - ideal, wenn Sie unsere nördlichen Nachbarn ein wenig besser kennenlernen möchten.
