Transportation

Coming to Brussels by plane

Two airports serve Brussels:

• Zaventem Airport is the main one and is located around 13 km North of Brussels
• Brussels South Charleroi Airport is a smaller one, around 50 km from Brussels

Transfer from Zaventem Airport to Brussels City Centre

By Train: The airport train station is located on level -1.

Trains going to Brussels North Station (Gare du Nord), Brussels Central Station (Gare Central), and Brussels South Station (Gare du Midi) depart every 10/15 minutes between 5 a.m. and midnight, 7 days a week. The ride takes approximately 25 minutes.

Visit the SNCB website to consult the schedule or buy a ticket. Tickets can also be purchased from ticket machines or at the counter in the train station. There is no ticket sale onboard the train.

By Bus: The bus station is on level 0, one floor from the arrivals hall.

Bus 12 will take you from Brussels Airport to the European Quarter (bus stops Schuman, Luxembourg or Trone) in 30 minutes.  More information about the tickets is available here.

Transfer from Charleroi Airport to Brussels City Centre

By Bus:

A shuttle bus service will take you from the airport directly to the Brussels South Station. Buses depart from outside the terminal every 30 minutes. Tickets can be bought online or from the driver. Please note that tickets purchased from the driver are more expensive. It is advised to buy your tickets in advance online.

Shared shuttle:

Door2Gate picks you up from Charleroi Airport and drives you to your destination. It's much less expensive than that taxi because you share the journey with other passengers going the same way. The price depends on the journey requested.
