Transport

The distance from Brussels to Antwerp is 50 km, 40 minutes by train, 45 minutes by shuttle bus.

From Brussels Airport (Zaventem) to Antwerp

The airport train station is located below the terminal (basement level-1). Up to 4 trains an hour connect the airport to Brussels North, Brussels Central and Brussels Midi stations. You then change in Brussels North and take a train to Antwerp.

There is also an hourly bus shuttle service from the airport to the centre of Antwerp. The bus leaves from level 0, leaves every hour on the hour between 5am and midnight, and costs €10 (cash only, tickets available from the driver). The bus will take you to the centre of Antwerp, just outside the railway station.

25 min walk to Lessius. Leave the station behind your back (with your back to the railways) and walk straight ahead through KEYSERLEI, cross the busy FRANKRIJKLEI, continue onto MEIR (very busy shopping pedestrian zone) which leads to SCHOENMARKT (passing a KBC tower on your right) and than GROENPLAATS (the main square in Antwerp, you can see the Cathedral on your right) . Turn left into NATIONALESTRAAT and take the third small street on your right (just after the supermarket Delhaize), it’s SINT-ANDRIESSTRAAT. You can see the Lessius-building immediately.

If you don’t want to walk, take the subway at Central Station to GROENPLAATS (number 2 or 15), direction LINKEROEVER. Get off at the third stop (after OPERA and MEIR), called GROENPLAATS. Go upstairs and turn left into NATIONALE STRAAT and take the third small street at your right, it’s SINT-ANDRIESSTRAAT. You can see the Lessius-building immediately.

Taxi: since Lessius is not far from Central Station, charges will not be very high. Make sure you ask for Lessius in Sint-Andriesstraat (Lessius has two other campuses in other parts of the city).
