Brussels' main airport is Zaventem, IATA code BRU. From the airport, a train (€ 2.60) runs every 15 mins to Brussels city centre, the journey taking 25 minutes. There is also a bus line number 12 and 11 (€ 3) every 20 to 30 minutes via Rondpoint Schumann to the Place de Luxembourg(European Parliament) district, from where the same ticket is valid for another 30 minutes on the metro or busses into the centre. A taxi to the centre costs around € 20 (as of 2004) when booked in advance, otherwise around € 30. Taxis bleus: 02 268 0000, Taxi Brussels: 02 411 4142, Taxis verts: 02 349 4343. If you've just arrived at the airport's train station, first check the time of the next train then go up one level and check whether a bus 11 or 12 is about to depart and take whichever is quicker depending on your final destination.
