  • Main transports in Brussels!

    The metro network is really easy to figure out.

    It's essentially 2 lines (one going around the boulevards that are the limits of the city of Brussels itself (the Pentagon) and one crossing the city from east to west with 2 branches at each extremities.

    Line 1A starts at Belgium's biggest stadium: King Baudouin and stops at : Heysel (for the Atomium, Bruparck, King Baudouin stadium and Heysel exhibition grounds). It joins line 1B at Beekant and among useful stops: Ste-Catherine, de Brouckere (for rue Neuve, Place de Brouckere and Grand'Place), Gare Centrale (Central station), Parc (for the Royal Park), Arts/Loi for the ministeries and embassies, Schuman for the European District. It splits again from 1B at Merode. The Line 1B starts at Erasme hospital, one of Brussels's biggest universty hospital, it then joins 1A to cross the city centre and splits at Merode, Alma is the stop you want for the faculty of medicine campus of the University of Louvain-La-Neuve and the St-Luc University hospital. The end of the line is at Stockel.

    Line 2 almost completely circles the city. Important stops are Rogier (for rue Neuve and hotels around Place Rogier), you can catch the tram there), Botanique (for the Botanical Garden), Arts/Loi (where Line 1 crosses Line 2), Porte de Namur (to access Matonge, the African neighborhood and chaussee d'Ixelles shopping), Louise (for luxury shopping on Avenue Louise and hotels), Porte de Hal (for those nightowls who want to go to the Fuse or eat at Le Bazaar or the early birds who feel like walking to Place du Jeu-de-balles for the flea market) and Gare du Midi (Midi Station), where you can catch Thalys and Eurostar trains.
