Getting Around

Trains run every 15 minutes (5am – midnight) from the international airport in Zaventem to the city’s three main stations, Bruxelles- Nord, Bruxelles-Centrale and Bruxelles- Midi – all are linked to the metro. After that you’ll need to get a taxi. Alternatively there’s an hourly bus service (6am – 11pm) to the Gare du Nord. International trains, including Eurostar, stop at Bruxelles-Midi; late at night it’s best to take a taxi into the centre.
