Transportation from Airport...

i%26#39;m staying at the Apart Hotel Brussels Midi (it%26#39;s an apartment on Rue Bara 161) I was wondering the best way to get there from the airport?? take the train to Guard de Midi?? then a cab??? If anyone has recommendations that would be very helpful! thanks!!

There%26#39;s a map on here http://www.booking.com/searchresults.html?aid=301214;landmark=3456 - but what it doesn%26#39;t show is that the Gare du Midi occupies almost the whole block bordered by rue de France and rue des Vétérinaires, and a taxi at Gare du Midi will almost certainly refuse to take you such a short distance. If you can%26#39;t manage a 10-minute walk with your luggage, therefore, I would advise you to get off the airport train at Gare centrale and take a taxi from there.

Otherwise, when you get off the train at Gare du Midi, walk towards platform 1 and turn left at the Eurostar terminal, so that you are on the right-hand side of it when looking at the entrance. Follow signs to the Air France office, which will take you all the way down the commercial gallery bordering the rue de France, to the exit by the Air France office, which is at the junction of rue de France and rue de l%26#39;Instruction. Continue down rue de France and take the next street on the right - it should be rue Ch. Parente but it doesn%26#39;t matter if it is rue des Vétérinaires, either will bring you to rue Bara, which runs parallel to rue de France, and your aparthotel is near the junction between rue Bara and rue des Vétérinaires.

You can catch the train in the basement level (-1) at the airport%26#39;s train station.Up to 4 trains an hour connect to Brussels Midi Station

(Gare du Midi).There is a schedule on the Belgian Railways website

www.b.rail.be.Just enter Bruxelles Nat Airport as departure/destination.Rue Bara is close by depending on your luggage you can go on foot or grab a taxi.

You can also have a look at mapquest.com and look there for Gare du midi (zuid station in Flemish) and Rue Bara
