Valentin CalommeFebruary 3, 2015Big crossroad for transportation but highly unsafe surroundings (mostly at night)Upvoted 3 weeks ago
If come from Antwerp, definitely look to your left, just before arriving!
Visit OostendeMarch 7, 2014Did you know that CNN called Oostende "the new Brussels". Take a train to Oostende and check it our yourself! #loveoostende Read more

Wouter de GrootDecember 23, 2013Everybody talks about how depressing this place is but Bxl-Noord always puts a smile on my face! Finally back in Belgium's greatest city : Brussels!
Ана ЛековићJuly 25, 2018You can buy TEC bus tickets here too. We bought train tickets to Charleroi (6.4€ with discount) and bus tickets to airport (6€, no discount). Both were punctual.
Gregory LacourOctober 13, 2011Built in the late twenties this station was a modernistic pearl of pure international style. It still looks gorgeous in some aspects but you have to have an eye for detail.
The old stairs are gone. This station underwent an upgrade and has a few new shops. Improvement
Slightly dodgy and dingy looking train station, but that's what gives it so much character. Catch the international train up to the Netherlands.
Karen MelchiorSeptember 1, 2019Most beautiful station in Brussels! Neighbourhood a little dodgey, but not as bad as its reputation
There is light going West, erotic darkness going East ... so follow where the sun will set.
Nice place... for Hobos ! But, unlike other tips, it's not a dangerous place, just lots of weird people (like, wait, a station !)- Trains, trams, buses, Quick, Starbucks & Exki, what more do you need?
Ton MNovember 29, 2013Exit out of the centrum side. This is the nicer side of town, the other side has a peep show and a bit raunchier... Well may not be bad if you're into those kind of things.
Jan VermoesenMarch 1, 2017To go from the busstops to the trains you have to take the outside stairs. There's nowhere a notification to be seen.
Not really the cutest of all stations, although the view from platform 1 is OK. It's not as unsafe as people claim, but to be sure, try to avoid the bathrooms!
Health warning: it's one of the most depressing stations of Western Europe.
L- and some P-trains have many stops. You'd better take an IC to Ghent or Bruges.
Arguably the least safe station of Brussels, keep guard of your stuff, but don't look too scared (like you should regularly I guess)
Be warned the smell of stale urine is quite pungent when exiting at the rue du progrès side- Rl GnsJanuary 24, 2011Direction Bourse / Beurs or Grande Place / Grote Markt take tram line 3 to Churchill / or line 4 to Stalle, both on level -2. Finance Tower take bus 351 or 358 on level -1.
Marina R.January 17, 2017Worst station of Brussels. But if you want to go to atomium it is the closest.- The advantage taking a train here is not having to arrive early. Trains never depart on time. Always late.
Crazy amount of track changes CONSTANTLY! Be careful with that. The train on the embarking station is the only right one when you get on the train!
Most straightforward Brussels' station to change trains (of the domestic network)
Not only a train station, but also home for many refugees
Nuno OliveiraNovember 22, 2012Trains are usually late and frequently change platform just minutes before arriving!!!! Not recommend place to be alone during the night! :)
New Travel Center - buy your tickets in the new corridor on your left hand side near track 1
I think this station has it's charm, at least at dawn and I like it. I do not find it depressing at all.
Instead of standing still and complaining that your train is late, start walking in circles and have some movement ...
The train aalst-Ghent Sint pieters is rather old fashioned, included charm and funny smell
When you go out the back. Don't stare if you're with a lady.
Great shuttle service takin you straight to Tour & Taxis. Oh yeah for free by the way
Martins EzermalisMay 16, 2011You can see prostitutes displaying themselves, next to station, in their trade "shop's" :D
it's a cold place, it's not a place to stay long time...just for passingtrue
Daniel HajdukOctober 7, 2014No wifi at the station, paid toilets, theres starbucks relay and a few more . Not much to do if you are alone...
Unsafe? I guess we're not talking about same station. Perfectly ok, don't be a sissy!
Davy DelbekeJuly 13, 2011Looks like a rather old train station they desperately try to make better but always failed. Sad. Intrigued by the former museum there though. Would love to get a closer look.
