Brussels Airport
Brussels Airport is the primary airport serving the capital city of Belgium. One of the busiest airports in the country, it lies 10 km northeast of Brussels city centre. It has 1 passenger terminal, where you’ll find a good range of dining and shopping options as well as facilities like free Wi-Fi, banking and currency exchange services. There are several transfer options to reach Downtown Brussels:
- A taxicab takes around 15-20 minutes. Licensed taxis have yellow-and-blue licence marks. The taxi rank can be found right outside the Arrivals Hall.
- You can also use Uber and Lyft apps at Brussels Airport. Your driver will let you know the pick-up area, but it’s usually on one of the levels of the multi-storey car park opposite the terminal.
- A ride on the train takes around 15-20 minutes. The train station can be found under the Departures and Arrivals Halls, on level -1.
- A public bus takes around 30 minutes. Bus stops can be found 1 floor down from the Arrivals Hall, on level 0. It’s the cheapest way to get to central Brussels.
- Car rental agencies can be found in the Arrivals Hall. The Car Rental garage is a short walk from there.
