In a Nutshell
Train World
The museum is located in an old train station in Schaerbeek. While it is further away from the city center of Brussels, it is worth a visit.
Train World Brussels is a unique railway museum in the heart of Belgium’s capital. This exceptional space showcases the rich history and evolution of trains and railways.
From the early days of steam locomotives to today’s high-speed trains, it is filled with authentic train cars, interactive exhibits, and impressive scenography.
It is also quite educative and interactive for kids.
The best part? You can even go inside some of the old trains and see what they were like inside. It feels like you’re traveling back in time.
We really loved the simulator. It’s like a link between the past trains and the modern ones. It’s super fun and makes you feel like you’re driving a train.
