Get in Brussels 

By plane:
Brussels Airlines serve Brussels from many destinations worldwide.
Brussels' main airport is Brussels International Airport- previously known as Zaventem (IATA code BRU). From the airport, a train runs every 15 mins to Brussels Nord, with the journey taking 15 minutes. There is also a bus every 20 to 30 minutes via Rondpoint Schumann to the Place de Luxembourg district, from where the same ticket is valid for another 30 minutes on the metro or busses into the centre.

There are several budget airlines including Ryanair who fly to Charleroi airport, which is south of Brussels (IATA code CRL) and is one hour away from Brussels city centre by coach, or by bus to Charleroi station and then by train.

Brussels airport has a luggage locker service where one can leave their luggage for a fixed duration.

Antwerp airport (IATA code ANR) also has a good train connection to Brussels.

By train:
Brussels has three main train stations: Bruxelles Midi-Brussel Zuid, to the south of the city core, Bruxelles Central-Brussel Centraal, which is right next to the city centre, and Bruxelles Nord-Brussel Noord, to the north of the city center (at Place Rogier). Unfortunately, high-speed trains stop only at Midi/Zuid, so you need to take the tram (or an ordinary train) a few stops north to get to Grand Place.

The high speed Thalys train connects Brussels with Cologne (2h23), Paris (1h20) and Amsterdam (2h00). There is also an hourly Intercity train from Brussels midi/central/north to Amsterdam (via Rotterdam, The Hague, Schiphol airport).

The Eurostar train line links Midi/Zuid with Lille Europe, Ashford and London St. Pancras. Most Eurostar tickets are also valid for internal train travel in Belgium (to and from any Belgian train station within 24h of the validity of the Eurostar ticket).

German ICE connects thrice a day to Frankfurt.

By bus:
Eurolines offers bus travel from many countries to Brussels, for example 8 hours from London Victoria station. In Brussels, they stop outside the Gare du Nord-Noordstation and Gare du Midi-Zuidstation train stations.
