Reviews of King Baudouin Stadium
Noor Mohamed
Big Stadium in Brussels. Unless tgere is any event, entry is not allowed. But football matches will takes place here. Also other sports.
DY
The stadium itself is good, but each time it took 1 hour to get out of the parking. It was poorly organised.
Matthew Harvie
Good stadium, good facilities and easy to get to with the metro link to various stations, depending on what tribune you are in
Jamie Mack
Away fans get off the underground Line 6 Houba-Brugmann which closest station to away end.
Robert Farr
Main Belgium Stadium, but if you are a tourist it will not be open unless there is an event. Literally it is "impounded" behind a high fence line a good 100 meters parameter of it. No way to do a tour, visit a shop or view the Heysel Disaster Memorial.
