Brussels-Central railway station
Brussels-Central railway station, Central railway station in Brussels, Belgium
Brussels-Central railway station features six underground tracks and three platforms within a functionalist building that serves approximately 70,000 passengers daily through its central location.
The station opened on October 4, 1952, after decades of delays caused by economic hardships and World Wars, completing a project initially designed by Victor Horta in 1937.
Designated as a protected heritage site in Brussels, the station represents mid-20th century Belgian modernization efforts and remains an important symbol of the city's architectural development.
The station provides ticket vending machines, free Wi-Fi, luggage lockers starting at 4.50 euros daily, paying toilets, and direct connections to metro lines 1 and 5 for passenger convenience.
The station was built underground after demolishing over 1,000 buildings in the 1920s, creating a massive elliptical facade with nine vertical bay windows representing Belgium's former nine provinces.
