The multi-level track system is a feat of engineering, and the lower-level shopping/dining area is super convenient. It's also very accessible--it stretches across a huge block with plenty of exits, making it a beautiful thoroughfare for the city. Clean, safe, and absolutely gorgeous.

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. For carry on size luggage, you need at least a L size, which is 9 euro for L size. There are bigger sizes, which will cost more. The instructions are clearly stated in the locker room. 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. I was alarmed to see FOUR soldiers in full gear all with semi-automatic rifles at the ready this morning at 11am (Sunday) - see pic - Yikes! Review 5 2019

Large train station in Brussels. I arrived here from Paris. There were a lot of moving parts, and…read morepeople, but I'm a New Yorker. Aside from that, I had someone with me, who could speak French. The machines were there, so. Was able to purchase a ticket but nobody took it onboard the train, so it turned out to be for naught. Nonetheless, this was a large station with multiple shops and was extremely neat, I was pleasantly surprised. This station seemed to have local and trains to take you to other European countries.

Slight chaos at this airport with some of the escalators out of service. The taxi service in and…read moreout was quick and not busy, Uber is a horror story in itself. I'm sort of used to airports and expect chaos, although it does not need to feel that way. We were here in Brussels just for the day so we did not have luggage which made it much easier. Every employee was helpful in navigating me through the new routes to my train. Plenty of cafes to choose a good coffee. Eurostar was a delayed disater but not the fault of the train station.

There are lots of bars and restaurants surrounding the plaza next to the train station in Leuven…read more This one is more bar than restaurant, and seems to draw more of a light night crowd than others. Great beer selection, and of course they have all the great Belgian beers on tap. Service was European slow but serviceable. Good spot to have a night cap.

This will give you a discount on all train rides in Belgium for both classes of train service and the fee was paid off in just three rides for me. Furthermore try to book your tickets online so you can avoid the lines at the vending machines and you can just head through the gate. From arrivals after baggage claim just follow the train signs which was to my right and down to -1 level. All I had to do was scan my emailed ticket's QR code and it allowed me through the automated gates. If you have big luggage or stroller then on of the staff will manually open a pass through gate. However the escalators down to the track level wasn't working so had to hike it. There was an elevator if needed. Overall station was clean and well signed to find my train. The train to Brussels was a short one so don't walk to the end of the platform as the engine stops right next to the escalators. From the airport to Bruxelles-Luxembourg station took 18 minutes. By far the easiest way to Brussels in my opinion.
