I am not particularly interested in either Neo-Baroque Architecture or Rail transport, but you have to marvel at the architecture of this station and the multi storey platform aspect of the station.

Loved the building but was particularly impressed with the punctuality and cleanliness of the trains. A few obvious pickpockets lurking and no sign of Police or security. As with all big stations, be wary.

this place is worth a detour because of its super modern 4 level train tracks in the middle of an old baroc station

Very unique architecture! The various additions to the station from different periods are combined very well. Take a walk through the station and enjoy how all the different architectures meld.

The Central station of Antwerp is a beautiful building, made even more beautiful by the latest renovations. If you have to wait for a train, you can enjoy the architecture.
