Connections to Brussels From Brussels Airport (Zaventem) to Brussels city centre Brussels Airport is very close to the city – it takes around 20 minutes by train from the Brussels Airport to Gare Centrale (Central Station). The airport train station is located below the terminal (basement level-1). Up to 4 trains an hour connect the airport to Brussels Central Station. Tickets are on sale at the stations. A single fare costs EUR 8.60.

The city centre is also well connected by bus. From Monday to Friday until 8 PM the Airport Line (bus number 12) halts at the most important stops in Brussels. The bus station is located on level 0 - one floor down from the arrivals hall at the airport. Centrally located on the bus station there are three platforms each with its specific use. All MIVB/STIB buses depart from platform C. A pre-paid single fare is EUR 4.50, and a ticket purchased on the bus is EUR 6.00.

Taxis from the airport to the city centre are relatively expense – a single fare from the airport to the city centre is around EUR 40.00. A reliable taxi company is Taxis Verts. You can order a taxi in advance at http://www.taxisverts.be/en/.

From Charleroi Airport to Brussels city centre Charleroi Airport is a bit further away from the city centre – it takes around 1 hour by train and bus or shuttle from the airport to Bruxelles Midi (South Station) or Bruxelles Nord (North Station).

Every 30 minutes a shuttle coach leaves the airport to take you to Brussels Midi. The shuttle coach stop is at the crossing of Rue de France and Rue de l'Instruction. Shuttle tickets are sold outside the airport terminal and the terminal tickets. You can also buy tickets on this website.

8

You can also take TEC-bus A from the airport to Charleroi-Sud Station and then take a train to Brussels Midi or Brussels North. The fare is EUR 5. The price of the ticket includes the train and the bus transfer. The two ticket dispensers are placed outside the airport, near Door 2.

Local Public Transport We recommend using public transportation in Brussels. You can buy tickets from Kiosks, Bootiks (at the metro stops) and some supermarkets. Buying a ticket from the driver (which is only possible in trams and buses) is more expensive. Single tickets allow passengers an unlimited number of changes of metro, tram or bus for 60 minutes (you have to stamp/swipe your card on each new means of transport). Multi-trip cards are not nominative and can be used for more than one person. We recommend to buy a 10 trip card: EUR 14.

Weather The Belgian climate is maritime temperate, with an average temperature of 17째C in June. Please check the weather before packing for your trip. Please remember to dress in layers and pack an umbrella.

Before and after conference hours...

Although Brussels is – compared to other European cities – quite small (1.2 million inhabitants), it feels very cosmopolitan and offers a lot of cultural and culinary life. Speaking about the latter, you certainly have to taste the famous beer, chocolate and waffles during your stay in Brussels!
