Business events and networking in Brussels

If your business often goes to events and has a strong commitment to networking, then Brussels is the place to be. Brussels is known as the No. 1 European location for international associations conferences. The presence of multicultural companies and the European Parliament makes networking in Brussels unique. Every week several international companies, think-thanks and interest groups host tons of events in the city, so keep an eye on the business events organised. Brussels offers therefore loads of opportunities to meet like-minded people and expand your professional network. For example, on Thursday evenings the square in front of the European Parliament, known as Place Luxembourg, teems with people of several work fields.

Accessibility of the airports

The Brussels airport Zaventum is the national airport of Belgium. It is situated approximately 12 kilometres from Brussels. There are several options to go quickly to the airport from Brussels city centre. The airport has a train station and up to 6 trains per hour go to and from Brussels. You can reach the city centre within 15 minutes. It is also possible to take the train to Antwerp (32 minutes), Gent (54 minutes) or Liège (60 minutes).

Access to offices by public transport

The public transport in Brussels is organized by the STIB (Société des Transports intercommunaux Bruxellois). When travelling by public transport it is recommended to have a MoBIB card, a payment system for several transport options. The metro network in Brussels is excellent with 69 stations across seven lines. Also, the train network is dense and an efficient way to get around between towns and cities. Brussels has 3 main stations that are on the same line: Brussels Nord, Brussels Centrale and Brussels Midi. The Brussels Midi train station, in the South, is the busiest because you can take here also international high-speed trains as Eurostar and Thalys to easy travel to Paris and Amsterdam.

Access to offices by car

Brussels has a large dedicated mobility infrastructure with the Brussels Ring (R0) as major artery for commutes. However, it is not recommendable to go by car in Brussels. The traffic can be heavy, especially during rush hours. It might sometimes be more beneficial to walk. Besides that, since January 2021 the maximum speed limit in the capital inside the Ring Road is 30km/h for all road users (with the exception of a few major traffic axes). In Brussels you can also find car shares when you don't always need a car this is a good option. Companies as Cambio, Wibee, Poppy and Greenmobility offer car sharing options.

Parking in Brussels can be expensive but there are also some free parking places. The municipality of Brussels is trying to make traveling by car to the city centre a less attractive option. However, you can park for free outside the old city centre. The free parking is possible in the following garages: Lennik-Erasme, Stalle, Hermann-Debroux, Delta and Roodebeek. Usually, you do have to travel by public transport to the city when choosing for these garages.
