Brussels-Luxembourg railway station

Brussels-Luxembourg station extends underneath the European Parliament esplanade, featuring six platforms and connecting multiple transport networks across the city center.

The station, designed by architect Gustave Saintenoy, began operations in 1854 as part of the Brussels-Luxembourg railway line serving the Leopold Quarter.

The station forms an integral part of the European Quarter, where thousands of professionals from European Union institutions pass through daily.

Located at Trierstraat, the station connects to bus lines 12, 27, 38, 80, and 95, with the Trone metro station within walking distance.

The original above-ground structure transformed into an underground station in 2004, preserving only the central entrance as a protected heritage element.
