True colours
If Brussels is the heart of Europe, Brussels South is its soul. Less polished than the European quarter, but as many colours and languages, and even more the real crossroads of all these very different capitals of this very unified continent.
At walking distance from the train station, you’ll find Midi Station, with at every table, as an unmistakeable consequence of its location, the Midi People. This smart mix of cultures, nationalities, accents, stories and temperaments gives Midi Station its character and flavour of warmth and colours. You’ll be received with open arms.
