ΕΝΟΙΚΙΑΣΗ ΑΥΤΟΚΙΝΗΤΩΝ Gare du Midi - Brussels (WT3)

From Gare du Midi Railway Station, just south of the thriving city centre, the delights of Brussels await your arrival. All you need are the keys to your hire car. You’ll find us near the entrance of the station.

Hip and historic, Brussels is the cool capital of Belgium. Collect your Avis hire car from the city’s Gare du Midi Railway Station in the south and discover this diverse city the easy way.

Built on a unique tapestry of styles and historical influences, Brussels promises a surprise at every turn. The cosmopolitan city is officially bilingual, so the landmarks and sights of the capital each have a French and Flemish name.

The main square, known as the Grand Place or Grote Markt, towers with beautiful ornate buildings. For a memorable evening, head to the grand square to enjoy live music and a truly inspiring atmosphere.

During the day, the Parc du Cinquantenaire (Jubelpark) is the perfect spot to spend an afternoon. Here you can climb the Arc de Triomphe (Triomfboog) for fantastic views over the city.

Of course, Belgium is also known for its cuisine and Brussels provides the ideal sampling ground. From mouthwatering mussels to delectable Belgian chocolate, wonderfully sweet waffles to salty frites, the menu of delicious treats is endless.

Brussels is the gateway to many other spectacular European cities. With an Avis hire car in Brussels, you can explore them in complete comfort.

Bruges

Accelerate just over an hour north from Brussels along the E40 and you’ll arrive on the cobbled lanes of Bruges. A medieval town straight from a fairytale, Bruges is bursting with history and natural beauty. With its winding streets and tranquil canals, ancient churches and whitewashed buildings, it’s little wonder visitors flock here.

Lille

Drive 90 minutes west of Brussels along the E429 and you’ll hit Lille – the largest city in French Flanders.

Sitting right on the border with Belgium, Lille is a charming metropolis with strong Flemish roots. The city is home to an abundance of art galleries and museums including the Fine Arts Museum, which houses an impressive collection of 15th and 20th century paintings. Watch the world go by while enjoying a waffle at a cafe in the Grand Place or pay a visit to the open market of Marché de Wazemmes.

Brussels and beyond is yours to discover. Collect your hire car from Gare du Midi Railway Station and let the adventure begin.
