Plane: the international airport of Brussels is 15 minutes away. Train or taxi connection to the center of Brussels.
*Attention, we have two airports with a similar name:
- "Brussels-Zaventem" (10km away) Info
- "Brussels South Charleroi" (60km away) mostly RyanAir flights. Details such as shuttle service, etc
Train: There are three major stations in Brussels: South, Central, North. Fromahtese three stations you can pick-up a train towards the Schaerbeek Station which is about 300 meters away from our B&B. The ride will last about 10 minutes only check out itinirary on www.sncb.be . If you already have a train ticket to Brussels, this would usually cover up for the trip towards any other station in Brussels.
Once in Schaerbeek station, right in front of the station, take the largest avenue with trees going up the slope (Avenue Huart Hamoir)On top of the 'hill' is a church, walk up untill you come at the door of the church. There take right (90° angle, well almost 110°) and stay on that board walk for 200m untill you reach our home. Our street starts at the round about.
*Attention, we have two names for the same station:
Midi Station (or "Gare du Midi") = Brussels-South (or "Zuid Station")
*Good to know: trains have first and second class, make sure you're sitting in the right one. If you are not sure about the validity of your ticket, walk towards the controller as soon as he enters the wagon and explain the problem, this will usually avoid further trouble/fines.
