How to get from the airport to the centre and back?
After landing at the Brussels South Charleroi Airport, you’ll find yourself located a bit further from the city center. To kick off your adventure, head to the bus stop marked Flib.co. You will find it on the left, right as you exit the airport. After descending a few stairs to the smaller yellow bus stop behind the building of Flib.co, hop on the A3 bus (€6.00) towards Luttre Gare SNCB. The bus runs every 30 minutes, and you can purchase tickets at the machine next to the bus stop or directly from the driver (cash only).
Once you arrive at Luttre, you have to catch a train to Brusxelles Midi. Trains depart every 30 minutes, and the bus and train connections are only about 10 minutes apart. Consider downloading the SNCB app to purchase tickets and check train schedules. A ticket to Bruxelles Midi will cost you (€7.50).
