Brussels-Central railway station (French: Gare de Bruxelles-Central, Dutch: Station Brussel-Centraal)[a] is a railway and metro station in central Brussels, Belgium. It is the second busiest railway station in Belgium[1] and one of three main railway stations in Brussels, together with Brussels-South and Brussels-North. First completed in 1952 after protracted delays caused by economic difficulties and World War II, it is the newest of Brussels' main rail stations.
Brussels-Central is connected to the rapid transit Gare Centrale/Centraal Station station on lines 1 and 5 of the Brussels Metro system, and serves as an important node of the Brussels Intercommunal Transport Company.
