![]() When you have descended from the le ‘Couloir Principal'/'Hoofdgang by escalator and turned to the right the pre-metro tram stops will be ahead of you. Tram lines 3 and 4 are underground in Bruxelles-city centre - which is why they're often referred to a tad confusingly as 'Pre-Metro' ![]() To access tram lines 3 and 4 follow the same signs above which lead to the Metro. Ignore tram line 51 if you're heading to the city centre as it doesn't call at those stops. The Metro lines 2 and 6 don't connect Bruxelles-Midi station to the heart of the city, but tram lines 3 and 4 do - with stops at Anneessens, Bourse, De Brouckere and Rogier. The Metro has its own ticket gates and on the other side of these you will have to descend to another level below, in order to access the Metro trains. When you have descended to the Metro station concourse - what you will see ahead of you is actually one of the tram stops (see the tram notes below).ĭon't confuse this access to the trams with the access to the Metro. Note that the style of the letter 'M' has changed and this sign is also pointing the way to Metro lines 2 and 6 - these are the only Metro lines which serve Bruxelles-Midi/Brussel Zuid. Walk under the above sign and keep walking ahead until you come to this sign shown below, which is above the escalators which lead down to the Metro station. ![]() Though if you have arrived by train at voies/sporen/platforms tracks 9-22, then when you walk down the main passage way, this entrance to the Metro will be over to the right. It will be on the left of this main passage way (note the easy to miss 'M'.) When entering the le ‘Couloir Principal'/'Hoofdgang' from any high speed train arrival, turn to the right and then look for this sign shown above. In this passage way the entrance to the Metro is opposite the escalators that lead down from voies/sporen/platforms tracks 7 - 8. The main access to the Metro is in the main passage way under the tracks/platforms at the station - le ‘Couloir Principal'/'Hoofdgang'. When navigating the station look out for the capital 'M' on the signs - you probably had to look twice, but on the above image it is the symbol at the far left on the second row. We had used Bruxelles-Midi several times without realising it had a Metro station. The signs pointing the way to the Metro are much more subtle than can be typically found at other major stations with metro links.
