How to get to Brussels

By plane - Brussels has two international airports: Brussels Zaventem (BRU) and Brussels South Charleroi (CRL).
Brussels Zaventem is well-connected to the city by train and by bus. From Brussels Charleroi there are numerous Flibco Shuttle buses leading directly to Bruxelles-Midi or trains from Charleroi city to Bruxelles Central and Midi.

By train - Brussels has many train stations. The main ones are Bruxelles-Midi (which is reached by high-speed trains such as Eurostars or TGVs) and Bruxelles-Central.

How to reach the campus

From Bruxelles-Central one can

take a metro (number 5, direcion Herrmann-Debroux) until “Delta" (which brings you directly to the ULB/VUB campus)
take a bus (number 71, direction Delta) to the ULB/VUB campus (stop “Fraiteur”, not “ULB”. The latter one is the other campus of ULB)
take any train to the station “Etterbeek”, which is 15 minutes walking from the ULB campus.

Each of these options have a very frequent operation (about every 5 to 10 minutes). Including walking and waiting for connection, you should count about 40 minutes travel between Bruxelles-Central and the campus. For schedules of busses, metro and train, an easy option is to consult Google maps.
Tickets for metro/tram/bus can be purchased at the train station or online. You can buy either individual tickets (at 2.40€/ticket), or get a “MOBIB card” (at 5€) and a 10 journeys ticket (at 15.60 €). For more information, you can visit the website of STIB-MIVB.

How to get around in Brussels

Usually the easiest way to move is by Metro, but also buses and trams are not to be neglected. Please, check the webpage of STIB-MIVB or Google Maps.
Campus La Plaine is reached by Metro Line number 5 and Bus number 71.

Where to stay in Bruxelles

As there are very few hotels close to the campus, we suggest to choose an hotel closer to the city center. For invited speakers, hotel arrangements have been taken care by the organization. For contributed speakers and all other participants, hotel arrangements have to be made by yourselves. Here is a short list of possible alternatives.
