About Brussels

The center of European activities, Brussels is a cosmopolitan hub that features many cultural elements, making it one of the top destinations for international travelers. Sitting at the heart of Brussels is the famous Grand-Place, a world heritage site that boasts many nearby Gothic and Baroque architectural marvels. During the holiday season, the square hosts the Winter Wonders light show, as well as a giant Christmas tree. If you enjoy museums, don’t miss out on the Musical Instruments Museum, which is housed in an Art Nouveau building. Featuring as many as 1,200 instruments from around the world, the museum is every music fan’s dream. If you want to go on a shopping spree while in Brussels, head for the Les Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, which is housed in a stunning Renaissance-style arcade.

Brussels is the home to many Michelin-starred restaurants, and its food scene is among the top-rated in the country. For those wishing to enjoy a contemporary twist on Belgian classics, head towards La Quincaillerie. If seafood is your go-to, Noordzee Mer du Nord will definitely satisfy your palate.

Brussels’ three main rail stations are Brussels-South, Brussels-Central, and Brussels-North, all of which are the busiest in the country.

Station Information

The Haren-South station, translated as Haren-Sud in French and Haren-Zuid in Dutch, is a small train station located in the Haren area of Brussels. The station is the destination of many bus routes to Brussels and some local trains, but it is not a very large stop. The train tracks are uncovered, and there are just small covered waiting areas on the outdoor platforms. The nearest amenities are a short walk away, at Haren's main intersection, where you can find a few cafes and convenience stores if needed. To connect to the center of Brussels, take the S2 train, a local train that arrives at Haren-South every 30 minutes.
