    So the railway station closest to the festival is Leuven, but you can't take a night train on the Sunday back to Brussels? So, you have to sleep in Leuven (hotel/hostel) or at the festival than (tent). (why no nightt raffic??)

    How much would a taxi cost from Rock Werchter back to Brussels that night than?

    Or maybe the best choice is to sleep in Leuven somewehere?

    Ok. now I get it. Werchter is a town located 15km from Leuven and 30km from Brussels. So I should get a hostel in Werchter than because of the bad night communication between the towns.

    Hmm, could be a problem with getting to my plane in time on monday :/

    I was thinking about a cheap one in 0700 (and not sleep), but now I take one at 16:00 or something.

    But because of us being 4, it would not be to expensive to share a taxi from werchter to Brussels in the night I guess...

    It looks now that we take a hostel in Leuven and I go from Leuven to the south railway station on Monday, and from there take a shuttle to the south airport for my flight at 17:00.

    Hopefully that will work... :)

    So anyone know any cheap hostels in Brussels? In Berlin and Dublin I found places to stay for 10-15euros - in Brussels the few I found is a lot more expansive.

    Anyone know a cheap one?

    I was so stupid to decide on Belgium so late that I had already paid for flight from Berlin back home to Sweden on Friday So it looks like I will go to Sweden on Friday, then take a flight from Sweden to Brussels on Saturday morning. A stupid expense and pointless to go home to Stockholm between Berlin and Brussels... but yeah... stupid me to not decide on Brussels earlier.

    But are there any cheap flights from Berlin to Belgium? Maybe the cost is so low that I can just throw away that ticket home to Sweden from Berlin.

    And, why do you ask ??

    I ask because I have tickets for Werchter on friday, sunday and Arras on Saturday. I dont have tickets for Berlin, but it was fantastic last year so hopefully I will be there again this summer.
