By Train:

From Bruxelles-Brussel-National Airport - Your route plan
Those arriving by air are warned that the taxi fare from the airport to Central Brussels is rather high. A train service links the airport with the three main railway stations (gare du Midi (Brussel-Zuid Station), Gare centrale (Brussel-Centraal Station) and gare du Nord (Brussel-Noord Station), the journey taking about 20 minutes. Participants will effect a considerable saving of money if they take this train and complete their journey to the hotel by taxi or on foot from the stations.

Near "the Gare du Midi", you can take busses 136 (recommended), 137 (recommended), W or 365a to VKI (Rhode-Saint-Genèse or Sint-Genesius-Rode) and alight at the "Espinette Centrale" or "Middenhut". (map of Gare du Midi)

Eurostar and Thalys stop at the Gare du Midi.

A train also links the three main railway stations with the station at Rhode-Saint-Genèse or Sint-Genesius-Rode, which is about 2,5 km from the VKI.

By car: From center of Brussels
Those arriving by car should follow signs indicating the center of Brussels ("Centrum") and enquire about the location of their hotel when they are in the central area.
