From Brussels National Airport (Zaventem)
- Most international flights arrive at Brussels National Airport in Zaventem, about 100 km away from Liège.
- Once at the airport, the most convenient mode of transportation to Liège is the train. There are connections between Brussels Airport and Liège-Guillemins station from 5:41 a.m. to 11.59 p.m. on weekdays (timetables vary during the weekend; whatever day you travel on, you will have to change trains once, either in Brussels-North or in Leuven). You can plan your train journey and buy your ticket online on the Belgian Railways website.. When you arrive at Liège-Guillemins, you can take a taxi or bus to the city centre, or take the train to Liège-Palais (closer to the city centre) and walk to the conference venue from there (approximately 7 minutes).
Remarks
- If you would like to find out which bus you should take, go to the TEC (Public Transport) website and use their “search route” function (‘rechercher un itinéraire’).
