Brussels-Luxembourg railway station

Brussels-Luxembourg is an underground railway station in the European Quarter with six platforms beneath the Parliament esplanade. It connects multiple transit networks and serves as a central hub in the city's public transport system.

The original above-ground railway station was built in 1854 by architect Gustave Saintenoy and served the Leopold Quarter line. In 2004 it was moved underground, with only the central entrance retained as a protected heritage site.

This station shapes the European Quarter as a meeting point for thousands of professionals working at EU institutions. It is an everyday place where people move between government buildings and cross the city.

The station is accessible from Trierstraat and served by bus lines 12, 27, 38, 80, and 95. The nearby Trone metro station provides additional connections throughout the city.

The central entrance still comes from the original 1854 structure and stands as a protected landmark. This facade connects the city's long railway history with its modern underground infrastructure.
