Why Brussels?
Brussels: the capital of Belgium, the de facto capital of the EU, the comic strip capital of the world, and with legitimate claims to being the capital of chocolate, beer, waffles, surrealist art, and tiny statues.
A Destination Within Easy Reach
Getting to Brussels is remarkably easy, no matter where you are coming from. As a central European hub, Brussels is well connected by fast and convenient routes from major cities such as Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Cologne, and Luxembourg. With short travel times and seamless connections, reaching the Tomatis Convention in Brussels is simple, efficient, and stress-free.
You can get to Brussels by plane (to Brussels or Charleroi), train (Eurostar from London, SNCB within Europe), bus (like Eurolines), or even by car.
