How to get to Spa?

    I'm going to Spa this year and I'm just wondering about how to get to the actual track. I'm flying into Brussells and from what I can see, I will have to take two trains and finally a bus into Francorchamps itself.

    Is there any more of a direct way to get there from Brussels? I won't be driving but I was wondering if there was some sort of direct coach or special bus service or something I could take?

    I don't think I can go with a tour operator now as I have my flights, accomodation and race tickets already booked and paid for.

    Cheers.

    I got the trains and bus, was really cheap and fast enough. Had planned before I left exactly what times my trains were leaving at aswell as back ups incase I missed any. Aswell as that you can print your tickets before you leave so all you have to do is hop on and enjoy the views!

    Cheers for that. I think you were taking the bus for the last stage of the trip? Stupid question, but how did you know where to get off the bus? :o

    We were thinking the same thing when we were on the bus! You go through some very remote country areas first, but you'll start to notice fields being used as car parks and then basicly there's police on the road stopping the buses from going any further as traffic gets crazy, you basicly can't go wrong if you just stay on the bus until it's obvious. :p

    Even on the Thursday of the race weekend? That's when I'm arriving.
