From

The Zaventem Brussels Airport bus station — since 7 May 2026 a temporary one, about 100 m from the terminal on level 0, under a covered walkway

An ordinary city bus, quiet at that hour.

Journey

29 min

This is the answer to the night here: it lands almost exactly in the gap the trains and the STIB bus leave, and it charges the ordinary EUR 3.00 to do it.

It is also faster than the daytime bus — 29 minutes against 54 — because the roads are empty.

Mind the 02:25 to 03:16 gap. The half-hourly claim does not hold across the middle of the night.

From

Platform D of the bus station — since 7 May 2026 a temporary one, about 100 m from the terminal on level 0, under a covered walkway

To

Schuman (metro 1 and 5), then Luxembourg and Trone (metro 2 and 6)

Luggage

A city bus with a luggage area, since the route exists for this traffic.

Runs

05:08–00:30

Journey

27–52 min

You are paying EUR 7.90 for a journey that costs EUR 2.40 in the other direction. That is not a mistake on the fare machine — every ordinary STIB ticket is written to be void leaving this airport.

It is the best option for the European quarter: Schuman in about 27 minutes puts you where neither the cheap bus nor the train leaves you.

Paper costs EUR 0.50 more than contactless or a card.

Seven of you should still buy singles. The 10-journey card only wins from eight once the EUR 6.00 MOBIB card is counted, and from seven if you already have one.

Peak traffic nearly doubles it — 52 minutes to Trone against 38 off-peak.
