How to get to Brussels?
Brussels is easily accessible by plane and train, with excellent connections to major European cities.
By plane: Brussels is served by two airports:
- Brussels Airport (BRU – Zaventem): the main airport, with direct train connections to Brussels Central and Brussels Midi.
- Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL): mainly low-cost airlines, with shuttle buses to Brussels Midi.
By train: Brussels is a major European rail hub. High-speed and international trains arrive at Brussels Midi/Zuid (South), including direct connections from London, Paris, Amsterdam, and Cologne/Frankfurt. From Midi, local trains and metro lines provide quick access to the city centre.
Public transport: Brussels has an efficient public transport network (metro, tram, and bus) operated by STIB/MIVB, making it easy to travel between hotels, the venue, and the city centre.
