Getting Around Brussels

By Public Transport (bus, tram, metro) 🚍

STIB manages most of the public transport services you'll find in Brussels. To check schedules, network maps, and fares, visit the official STIB website. You can also download the app.

For your visit to the RIODD, depending on where you are staying and your desire to explore Brussels, we recommend the following options:

* Contactless Payment: You can pay directly by tapping your bank card, smartphone, or smartwatch on the grey validator in buses, trams, or metro stations. For more information on how contactless payments work, visit: Contactless Payment STIB.

 **Unlike contactless payments, Brupass tickets also grant access to other public transport networks in Brussels (De Lijn, TEC, and SNCB).

📌 Find all non-subscription fare options here.

⚠️ Be mindful of the specific fare for trips from Zaventem Airport; refer to the 'Access' section for more details.

RIODD and STIB offer two tickets for interested participants to facilitate your travel within Brussels. These tickets will be available at the welcome desk during check-in.
