{{Hitchhiking Zine nomination}}
{{BW|BE/Bruxelles-Capitale/Brussels}}
'''Brussels''' ([[France|French]]: ''Bruxelles'', [[Netherlands|Dutch]]: ''Brussel'', [[Germany|German]] ''Brüssel'', [[Poland|Polish]]: ''Bruksela'', [[Latvia|Latvian]]: ''Brisele'') is the capital of [[Belgium]] and the [[Europe]]an capital. Brussels is a very international city. While still walking around in the center you might be able to spot some cars from other countries. For instance, when heading to [[Paris]], check the French numberplates with 75 or 90-something (Paris and its suburbs). There are basically no checks on the metro system at all, so there's absolutely no reason to buy a ticket when travelling around the city.
== Hitching Out ==
If your ride only takes the Western Ring anyhow (from Gent or the south), you can ask to be left at the Exit 16 and gain the Metro 1b, stations 'Eddy Merckx' or 'Ceria' which are at footsteps.
==Public transport==
Checks on the metro system are not common, but it can happen. Fines are over 80 euro for not carrying a ticket. You also need tickets to enter and exit at some metro stations.
