Nor will you see him covered platforms. Nor will you be able to play the game 'is it the drains or has someone crapped themselves?' Nope you won't get any of these. You'll get shiny floors, escalators that are always working and a light airy feel to your wait for a train. Minus for being constantly closed whenever there is a European leaders summit. But still five stars!

De Brouckère is a metro station that serves lines 1 and line 5 as well as tram lines 3 and 4. It's…read morea decent sized station and there are stairs and escalators between the levels. On the ticketing concourse, there are staffed and automated ticket vending machines and the usual ticketing contactless scanners at the turnstiles. De Brouckère metro station is named after a Belgian nobleman who was mayor of the city from 1848 until his death in 1860. According to the wiki, he was responsible for major urban renewal in the city, including the creation of water mains and the first boulevards in Brussels. The station is part of the run where Lines 1 and 5 overlap, between Sainte-Catherine and Brussels-Central stations.

The shady metro station. Where you can experience the…read moredelights of a tramp urinating himself at mid day. The smell of which causing people to flee to the other end of the platform. Or you experience drunks at one of the many exits thinking it might be funny my to harass you in French. Or you can watch drinks cross the tracks on the tram lines because they're too drunk to walk around. Yes many delights are to be witnessed here. But you can at least sup on a Starbucks or munch on a Paul's sandwich whilst you enjoy the entertainment.

Worst roundabout in Brussels for driving! I have had so many near misses here, that I thank my…read morestars when I get home safely. Also there are tons of smokers around the tram stop that it might feel like you are the one smoking and not the people around you, I really think they need to have traffic lights here (similar to the UK) cause it's a death trap for motorists and pedestrians alike. Yet if I didn't have a car, around Montgomery would be my ideal rental because it is such a major transportation hub of Brussels and with buses, trams and trains, it would be a great location to base yourself from and be super quick to get anywhere else around Brussels that you need to go. So three stars bc of how bad amenities are but 4 stars bc location is great.

You can rub a bottom, a pair of feet or even a pair of breasts for luck. Going by the change in patina, some people obviously do. There is a derelict shop by the entrance that has been open in years. So no 'break time' for hungry passengers. The stop is equally distant to my abode to Montgomery. So I use it more or less half the time. Just a question of if a line 1 or line 5 train arrives first.

If you walk down the stairs, they are behind the stairs. There is no small size. The middle size is only good for a backpacks.

No staff are there to help you. Credit card is accepted.

I have to be honest - if I was writing this review about the Belgian rails system as a whole I…read morewould likely give FIVE STARS - the prices are VERY affordable (£8 each way to Antwerp which is a 50 Minute ride - so I chose first class for £11 each way), I can buy the tickets using my U.K. Trainline App (which is why I list the prices in £'s), the trains all seem perfectly on time and are clean. The station itself could do with a little spring cleaning and an upgrade on the food offerings.

It's a subway station, same as others. I didn't encounter the issues that others documented. It was clean and the signage was simple and there didn't seem to be any smell of urine. I'm guessing that either they've cleared it up, or I'm immune. Stairs from street level to ticketing level and more stairs from there to the platforms. There is also a pair of lifts.

You don't have to haul your luggage up &/or down several flights of stairs. Alas the trains are rather less infrequent than central.

As of October 2015, you can see the lovely pale gold marble on both the stations' floors and walls and its beautiful structure emerging like a butterfly from its cocoon - there is still work to be done, buts it's getting there with its cathedral ceilings and gleaming lights. My fave station in the Brussels metro station still remains Stockel, with its Tintin cartoons, but Schuman reminds me a bit of Grand Central in NYC, which is maybe what indeed it was aiming for, considering it is the station stop for the EU institutions.

Awful awful awful! I am not a fan of the Brussels métro. This station in particular! Poor planning,…read moreor they're trying to squeeze out as much money from Belgians and tourists as possible. It's a two platform station, and they aren't accessible to each other from inside the station. That means if you get on the wrong platform, and you've already paid your fare, you have to go back outside, go to the correct platform, and pay again. Ticket machines only take coins, not notes. So if all you have on you are Euro notes, or a non-EU credit card, you're screwed. Try doing that when you're pressed for time to get to the train station and you are scrambling to find coins and make your train.
