Brussels Central Station
Brussels Central Station is within walking distance of the Grand Place and the capital's most important tourist sights. The station was designed by Victor Horta and, after his death, completed by Maxime Brunfaut; it opened in 1952. More than 60,000 passengers pass through each day, making it one of the busiest stations in the country.
All platforms are reachable via lifts, so wheelchair users and travellers with a pram or heavy luggage can use the station without having to deal with steps. The central hall is completely level and spacious. Adapted toilets are available on the ground floor. SNCB/NMBS Assistance offers free support to and from the train, on reservation at least three hours in advance.
The station is directly connected to metro lines 1 and 5 via an accessible passage with lifts. Reduced-mobility parking spaces are available in the car park beneath the Carrefour de l'Europe. The Central Hall is an atmospheric Art Deco ensemble, making the station a pleasant place to arrive at or depart from.
