Please check all the legal or visa issues before you plan your journey to Belgium. You can find all necessary information on this website of the Belgian government   http://diplomatie.belgium.be/en/services/travel_to_belgium/If you need more info, please contact arno.janssens@antwerpen2011.org

There are two international airports in Belgium. The most important (and recommended) one is Brussels Airport. Brussels Airlines offers flights to and from 25 European Countries. Most big European airlines also have a connection with Brussels. From there you will need to get to Antwerp by train. The second one is “Brussels South” Charleroi airport. Ryanair offers flight to Charleroi from all over Europe. However, we do not recommend this airport as its still far away from Antwerp.

Antwerp has a big central train station with an international terminal. There are daily Thalys services from and to Amsterdam and Paris. The other big international railway station in Belgium is Brussels South Station, with daily trains from and to Frankfurt, Paris, Marseille, London and Amsterdam. A regular and fast connection to Antwerp Central Station is available and often included in your international train ticket.

Many bus companies, for example Eurolines, have a stop at Antwerp Coach Station.  More specific info about where you can get on a bus to Antwerp can be found on the site of the company you wish to travel with
