To Liège
By plane
Brussels airport (Zaventem) is served by international flights all year long. From the airport to Liège Guillemins station (Luik in Flemish) the easiest solution is the train, which leaves from level -2 of the airport ( 19.5 - 52 minutes [shortest]).
Note that all the travelers leaving or arriving at Brussels airport have to buy a so-called “Diabolo ticket” (5€30). It is normally included in the ticket if you buy at the train station.
Brussels South (Charleroi) is also served by international flights and also low-cost companies. There is no train station so one needs:
- take a bus to Charleroi Sud train station ( 6 - 20 minutes approx.) then
- a train to Liège ( 14.8 - 1h18).
Liège airport (Bierset) receives only a few flights a day from touristic destinations. If you are in that situation, this option might be convenient. From the airport to Liège, take either a taxi or a bus (not running during weekend).
By train
