How far is Brussels National Airport ( BRU ) from Sablon in Brussels - Would a taxi be too expensive?

I am flying to Brussels next Month to the Sablon area - but don't know how to get there from the airport.....any suggestions please?

And how long will it take?

Just wanted to hop in a taxi really - but how much would it cost?

Thanks

It's 12 kilometers away. Looks like it would be about 35 Euros.

Take the train from Zaventem (Brussels National Airport) to Brussels central station and change trains to go to Brussels kapellekerk or chapelle.
This is the closest you can get by public transport. (see map included). It takes you around 25 minutes to get there and it will cost you 2,90 euro.
Here's the link to the national railways so you can plan your trip. http://hari.b-holding.be/Hafas/bin/query...
A taxi will be far more expensive!

Take the train from the airport to Brussels Central station then just go on foot. It's not even a 10 min walk.
Be sure to make a stop at Wittamer for a nice pastry, chocolate or cake. Delicious!

May I suggest that on arrival in Brussels National you go to the lower level and take the SHUTTLE TRAIN to Brussels Central. On arrival in Brussels Central, which is a subterranean railroad station, you are at 5 minutes walking distance from the Grand Place and 10 minutes walking distance from the Sablon. Train fare is about 10% from what a taxi would cost you. Bon voyage. The trip takes about 30 minutes.
