There are two airports in Brussels, Zaventem Airport (BRU) and Charleroi Airport (CRL). You need to know that Charleroi Airport is not located near the city centre. It is located an hour away from Brussels City Centre with no train station of its own, so the only way to get from Charleroi to Brussels is a shuttle bus or a private transfer.
Click one of the links below to get your shuttle bus ticket from Charleroi Airport to Brussels City Center.
Under 26? Save money!

If you are planning to have a day trip during your stay in Brussels and you are under 26 years old, GoPass1 is a good idea to save your travelling cost.
Usually, it cost between € 2.50 and € 23.80 per journey, depending on the distance. However, if you get a GoPass1 ticket, it will only cost €6.40 for this single journey, and you can go to anywhere in the country.
