More than a train station, Antwerpen-Centraal is an eclectic architectural marvel. Designed by three separate architects and built between 1895 and 1905, the station has received several distinctions as one of the most beautiful railway stations in the world. Enter the historic domed building and marvel at the station's marble and stone interior. Note the three levels of platforms that provide connections throughout the country and the rest of Europe. The station mixes old with new, as renovations have been needed over the years. Notice how the modern architecture blends beautifully with the historic style.

Antwerpen Central has an amazing design and interior. It’s so beautiful and elegant. It is definitely one of the tourism spots that you have to visit once you come to Belgium. Taking train from here is also so convenient. You can go to almost every cities in Belgium and other countries next to Belgium, such as: France, Netherlands, Luxembourg, London, etc. The train is very on-time. The staffs there are also so nice.

Our train came in on the bottom level and we left on the top level. Sounds easy right? NOT! This is a huge 5 storey station. It takes at least 30 mins to switch trains, especially if you are going from bottom to top. There are 5 levels each have arriving/departing trains. The architecture of the train station was breathtaking. It was the most beautiful station we visited in Europe.
