Athens to Brussels flights

Direct Athens to Brussels flights connect the Greek and Belgian capitals. The route is served by three major carriers:

• Aegean Airlines
• Brussels Airlines
• Ryanair

You can easily find a schedule that fits your plans, especially during the most searched months of January, March and December.

All flights to Brussels depart from the Main Terminal at Athens International Airport. This terminal handles both intra-Schengen and non-Schengen flights, with Aegean Airlines and Brussels Airlines typically using the Hall B gates for this route. The terminal is well-equipped with duty-free shops, restaurants, and business lounges for passengers before they board.

Reaching the airport from central Athens is straightforward via the X95 bus from Syntagma Square, which takes approximately 60 minutes. You can also take the Metro Line 3 (Blue Line) or the Proastiakos suburban railway directly to the AIA station. For those driving, the airport is accessible via the Attiki Odos (A6) motorway with various parking options available near the terminal building.

When you land at Brussels Airport (BRU) in Zaventem, the quickest way into the city is the Airport City Express train. Departing from level -1, it reaches Brussels Central Station in about 18 minutes. Alternatively, the Airport Line (bus 12) runs to the European quarter, stopping at Schuman. Taxis and private hire vehicles are available at the designated rank outside the arrivals hall.

If your flight arrives at Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL), the Flibco shuttle bus is the most common transfer, taking around an hour to reach Brussels-Midi station. You can also take a local bus to Charleroi-Central and continue by train to the city centre.

Brussels offers a sharp contrast to the ancient ruins of Athens, centred around the ornate Grand Place and the surrounding medieval streets. You can explore the Sablon district for its famous antiques and chocolatiers or visit the Atomium for a panoramic view of the city. While walking through the Rue des Bouchers, be sure to try local specialities like moules-frites or a hearty Carbonnade flamande paired with a traditional Belgian beer.
