The SQUARE MEETING CENTER is located in the heart of Brussels, less than 500 m from the Historic City Center and the Grand Place. The Central train station is only 200 m from the SQUARE and it takes less than 30 minutes (by taxi) from Brussels Airport.

By rail: SQUARE is just across the Brussels Central railway station.

By national trains: Get off at Bruxelles-Central / Brussel-Central and follow the exit signs to ‘Mont des Arts – SQUARE’.

International trains (Eurostar, Thalys) arrive into Bruxelles-Midi / Brussel-Zuid. From there, it’s a simple two-minute train journey to Brussels Central station. Just take any train heading north (free of charge: your ticket to Brussels includes commuting from and to any train station in Brussels), get off at the first stop (Bruxelles-Central / Brussel-Central) and follow exit signs to ‘Mont des Arts – SQUARE’.

By air: After landing at Brussels International Airport (Zaventem), make your way from the main arrival hall of the airport to the train station on level -1. Take a direct train to the city centre. After 17 minutes, get off at the Brussels Central station, and follow the exit signs to ‘Mont des Arts / Kunstberg – SQUARE’.

By car: There are 660 parking spaces right underneath SQUARE at the fee-paying car park named Parking Albertine / Albertina - SQUARE, level -2 (maximum height: 195 cm). You can get in via Place de la Justice – Gerechtsplein, 16 at 1000 Brussels, and then walk straight into the building. Please do not use the other entrance at rue des sols / stuiversstraat which is the loading and unloading street during build-up and dismantling periods.
