    Highly recommend that if staying in Brussels for a couple days or more you buy the 1 month Train+…read moreticket online for 6E. 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.

    The train system is as convenient as can be to go to the airport, it arrives underneath the airport…read moreand all you have to do is go some levels up. You need an extra charge to get into the airport which is included in most train fares. There's staff everywhere to help.

    At first I was wondering why the area around the Brussels railway stations weren't all that dodgy,…read moreand then I got off at Brussels north and discovered why. Okay, this section of Brussels certainly isn't all that large, but there are a few bars around here, and you could say some other types of entertainment (like eating kebabs). However, yeah, this place is pretty sketchy, and probably not one of those places I would recommend visiting. Except of course that it is Europe, but yeah, I'd still be careful.

    A train station that gets its job done! Not 5 stars because it ain't the GCT! However, clear…read moresignage, digital boards showing real time arrivals, and self serve ticket machines definitely put this station as one of my favorite commuting stations. If you want to buy tickets to a station within Belgium, you can use the self service ticket machine (card only). If you need to buy tickets to travel to a nearby Belgian city using cash, you will need to visit a ticket counter (typically counter 2). If you need to a buy a train ticket to a city outside of Belgium, you will need to go to a ticket counter (typically counter 5 and 6). This is the same one as the service center counter so many people have complex requests/issues to handle. Be prepared to wait in line. Give yourself plenty of time to purchase tickets and don't wait until the last minute! The train station (on the platform) itself isn't very clean... but at least it's better than Paris? Definitely not as clean as the one in Amsterdam. The train station is modest sized but still has shops for your chocolate craving, banking needs, etc.
