Brussels Central Station luggage storage

About Brussels Central Station

Brussels is famous for its delectable culinary offerings and (dangerously) delicious beer. But the capital of the EU is far from just a place to nosh on waffles and frites. With magnificent architecture and charming squares, the city is essentially one big UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s also relatively easy to travel to compared to other major European cities.  

Brussels Central Station is one of the key transportation hubs (along with Brussels-South and Brussels-North) serving the city, with connections to other European cities along with the city’s metro network. It’s one of the most-used train stations in the EU, with commuters and tourists shuffling to various business or sightseeing destinations in the shadows of magnificent Royal Palaces and wonderful Baroque architecture. 

Visitors often find themselves wandering the cobbled streets with their luggage, but they don’t have to let their roller bags slow them down. With a bunch of luggage storage locations throughout Brussels, including our main location at Rue de la Madeleine 31, tourists (and business travelers) can rely on Bounce to stash their bags while they navigate this gorgeous European capital. 

How does luggage storage work at Brussels Central Station?

• Find the best location: Our mobile app and website have an intuitive search function that makes it simple to find the most convenient storage spot. 
• Book ahead of time: Once you select your location, it only takes a minute to plug in your details and book luggage storage with Bounce. You pay directly in the app, so no cash ever needs to change hands.
• Guaranteed space: You won't have to worry about availability like you do with train station lockers because you reserved ahead of time. Your payment gives you a confirmation QR code which tells you the space is waiting for you.

How luggage storage differs from station lockers

• Flexibility is key: Bounce luggage storage facilities can accommodate larger bags and items that luggage lockers at even the three major train stations simply can’t.
• Based on your schedule: You book for 24 hours, so you won't be watching the clock the whole time while you're trying to enjoy your trip! 
• QR codes for added security: Each reservation comes with a QR confirmation code used for easy check-in. This also ensures only the customer can access their bags. 
• Local business partners: Since we partner with local shops and other businesses near every Brussels station and all the popular landmarks, you can always find luggage storage facilities to meet your needs. The staff at each location helps to look after your items, and if you want a recommendation for the best restaurants, all you have to do is ask. Bags stored with us always get that personal touch.
• Opening hours: The Bounce locations near Brussels Central Station are typically operational from 9 AM to 8 PM. If you need a left luggage facility that's open later, we have those, too (up to 24 hours).
