Be aware that there are two "free
universities" in Brussels: one French-speaking and one Dutch-speaking. You
need get to the Dutch speaking "Vrije Universiteit
Brussel".
Arriving at the airport
- Taxi Fares are fairly expensive (approximatly 40 € from the
airport to the city centre).
- Train There is a train connection from the airport to the
main railway stations in Brussels. Trains leave every 20 minutes. It
takes about 20 minutes to get to Central Station.
From the railway-station
The three main railway stations (Nord, Central, Midi) are inter-connected.
Most trains halt in all three stations. The best connection to the campus
is from Central station via the subway: take Metro 1A, in the direction of
Hermann-Debroux. Do not take a metro to Stockel (which arrives at the same
platform).

Get off at Petillon station. Take the exit on your left hand side,
as you get off the metro (towards Avenue des Volontaires). At the exit of
the metro station, follow this street towards the right. The VUB campus is
at the end of the street you are following (within 10' walking
distance).
Arriving on the campus, you should head for the tallest
building of the campus (10 stories) which is at your left hand side as you
arrive from the metrostation (Petillon).
We are in building G on the tenth floor. Just follow the corridor (make
sure you go to part G as you exit the elevator). The entrance of the lab
(room 10G725) is in between two rounded walls.
