Gare Centrale (French) or Centraal Station (Dutch) is a Brussels Metro station. It is located five minutes' walk from Brussels-Central railway station, under the Marché au bois/Houtmarkt, in the City of Brussels, Belgium, and can be accessed through a pedestrian tunnel.[1][2]
The station first opened as a premetro (underground tram) station on 17 December 1969 on the tram line between De Brouckère and Schuman. This premetro line was upgraded to full metro status on 20 September 1976. Then, following the reorganisation of the Brussels Metro on 4 April 2009, it now lies on the joint section of metro lines 1 and 5, which cross Brussels from east to west.
