==== Airport ====
Take an overpriced train or for a more normal price bus 12 or 21 to Brussels International Airport. There are many exits at the airport. You can find one and start hitching from where cars pay their parking-ticket. A bit further down the road towards the motorway you'll find a Shell service station. Most cars here stay around the airport, but you may have luck. A final suggestion is to keep on walking along the side-road until it joins with the motorway. Cars go relatively slow here and there is plenty of room for a vehicle to pull over.
In order to get to the airport there are different options.
# The fast but expensive (8,5€) direct train to Brussels Airport from Bruxelles Midi, Central or Nord.
# STIB/MIVB bus #12 or #21 leaving from Place de Luxembourg (4€), be sure to check the timetable and keep the traffic jams during rush hour in mind
# De Lijn bus #272 or #471 leaving from Gare du Nord/Noordstation (normal ticket price around 2€)
# Take a normal priced train to Zaventem Station and walk 2 km to the airport. When you leave the station, take the Vilvoordelaan straight till the second roundabout and follow the road to Brussels airport (there is a pedestrian road next to the highway).
==== Notre Dame Cathedral / Laeken ====
If the driver goes the West of Brussels, ask to be dropped at Drogenbos exit. It comes right after the rest area (Total petrol station) of Ruisbroek. Walk five minutes and you’ll be at the beginning of tram line 4, which goes to the center.
