Brussels Tram 18

18 runs between VAN HAELEN and ALBERT as part of Brussels Tram. This stopping pattern has 15 stations.

Read the destination display before boarding. Short turns, engineering work, and timetable changes can alter the final stop even when the public line name stays the same.

History

Brussels opened its first horse tram in 1869 and began electric service in the 1890s. Surface routes and premetro tunnels remain part of the same tram network, so some lines feel more like light rail through the center.

Tickets and vehicles

Use the local operator’s app, ticket machine, or accepted contactless product before boarding. Belgium’s regional operators share some ticket products, but one operator’s fare is not automatically valid on every network.

The assigned metro, tram, or light-rail vehicle can change by departure. Floor height, air conditioning, seating, and interior space are not consistent across every fleet.

Accessibility

Step-free access varies by stop and vehicle. Check the operator’s current lift, platform, and disruption information when accessible travel is essential.
