How to get there

Schiphol and Zaventem airports are used by a range of airlines

Conveniently situated in northern central Europe, Belgium and the Netherlands are within easy reach from across the continental mainland.

And visitors to Euro 2000 from the British Isles have a host of options at their disposal to get to the host countries, courtesy of a short trip across the English Channel.

It is just a question of which route to choose - air, sea, road or rail.
