Belgica is a Brussels Metro station on line 6. It is located in the municipality of Jette, in the north-west of Brussels, Belgium. It opened on 6 October 1982 and is named in honour of RV Belgica; the ship that carried the first Belgian polar expedition to the Antarctic in 1897.
In May 2024, Brussels Mobility and the Brussels Intercommunal Transport Company (STIB/MIVB) applied for a permit to build a new tram line connecting Belgica with Brussels-North railway station.[1]
