    (Translated by Google) Main train station in Antwerp, opening date: 11 August 1905 Architectural style: Art Nouveau Architecture Interestingly, the center of Antwerp in particular, and traveling through the beautiful and large train station that mediates Antwerp .. Where all types of transportation are available near the station And in the city in general, where it has commercial markets and good services such as restaurants and hotels, in addition to the fact that Antwerp is a center for selling and buying gold and diamonds .. an ancient city that has a distinctive urban character..the sea also surpassed what gives it a charming touch of beauty .. I recommend visiting the place and Enjoy (Original) محطة القطار الرئيسية في مدينة انتويرب تاريخ الافتتاح: 11 آب 1905 الطراز المعماري: Art Nouveau Architecture ممتع مركز مدينة انتورب خاصة و السفر من خلال محطة القطارات الجميلة و الكبيرة التي تتوسط انتويرب .. حيث تتوفر كل انواع المواصلات بالقرب من المحطة و في المدينة عامة حيث تملك أسواق تجارية و خدمات جيدة من مطاعم و فنادق بالإضافة لكون انتورب مركز لبيع و شراء الذهب و الألماس .. مدينة قديمة لها طابع عمراني مميز .. تجاوز البحر أيضا ما يعطيها لمسة ساحرة من الجمال .. أنصح بزيارة المكان و الاستمتاع

    I always love this train station. Probably the prettiest train station I've even been to. The inside and the outside are very ornate. It is an absolute must see place in Antwerp.

    We bought wrong date for the tickets from the machine (for ticket from Antwerp to gent) and we approached the ticket office for an exchange. The staff Mohammed B offered excellent services to us. Not only he performed the exchange for us he also recommended the happy ticket which cost only 10 euro to and fro. He even recommended seaside town for us to visit. I wanted to say super service by him! And the station is really comfortable!

    A definite must see when visiting. Wonderful architecture, grand style and beauty. Like a Palace. One of the most beautiful train stations in the world. Very impressive with lots of details and lots of things to do and see in the vicinity like Antwerps Chinatown, diamond quarter, zoo within walking distance. Beautiful at night and during the day.

    Beautiful artistic central station. It is simply looking amazing! You should take a picture here when visiting Antwerpen. The train station location is perfect, within a walking distance you can reach many nice places in Antwerpen. This station has also sufficient facilities for travellers.

    I've got to tell you. This is one of the best looking, if not the best, train station I've ever been in. Looks beautiful ❤️ What is more, as many people said that before me, there is a lot of services provided to the customer and you cannot feel bored there. Really enjoyed it!

    Antwerpen-Centraal is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful train stations in the world. Its architectural style is a combination of different periods, including the eclectic style of the late 19th century and the Art Nouveau style of the early 20th century. The station's grand facade, impressive dome, and intricate detailing make it a true architectural gem. The original station building was constructed in the mid-19th century, but it underwent significant expansions and renovations over the years. During World War II, the station was severely damaged but was later restored to its former glory. The central hall of Antwerpen-Centraal is the focal point of the station and features a vast space adorned with a majestic dome. The hall is adorned with marble, intricate ironwork, and a beautiful stained glass ceiling, creating a sense of grandeur and elegance. Functional Design: Antwerpen-Centraal is not just a visually stunning building but also a highly functional transportation hub. It serves as a major railway station connecting Antwerp to various domestic and international destinations. The station has multiple platforms and facilitates the smooth flow of commuters and travelers. Film Location: Antwerpen-Centraal has been featured in several movies and television shows, further adding to its cultural significance and recognition. Its grandeur and architectural splendor make it a popular filming location for both local and international productions. Antwerpen-Centraal is not just a transportation hub but a landmark that showcases the city's rich history, architectural prowess, and cultural significance. Whether you are a traveler passing through or a local resident, visiting the station is an experience that allows you to appreciate its beauty and the role it plays in connecting people and places

    so, first at all, please be carefully in this area, because, there are a lot of people basking and some of them are going to try to take advantage on the tourist, to ask for money. Now, it was constructed between 1895 and 1905 as a replacement for the first terminus of the Brussels-Mechelen-Antwerp railway. all the structure is amazing, the use of the windows and some places really dark make one of the best places to shot some good pics.

    What a stunning station! It’s huge and very easy to navigate and take you right into the centre of Antwerp. Plenty of platforms and good trains to get you to other destinations too. It really is worth coming here just for the station as it is truly gorgeous

    Really great train station, the most beautiful yet very functional. The exterior does not look like a station, more like a palace and... Inside that promise is delivered. A real palace with trains. A place to be visited even if you're not travelling by train. It has all it should have where it should have - that's true for almost everything in Antwerp. Highly recommended, and if it's not enough - famous diamond dealers are close to the station.

    Beautiful architecture. Well maintained surroundings and indoors. Police is always present to help those in need. Ticket counter has always few people standing outside to help people with electronic machines. Easy access to all platforms via lift, stairs and escalators. Taxis available outside all day long.

  • 5/5 Belgian Train P. 2 years ago on Google
    I think this station lets you think more about the architecture than the trains thanks to its Victorian feel. I really recommend visiting this station if planning to visit the Antwerp town.

    Big train station with beautiful old building in the front. Very clean. Several travel options both inside as outside of Belgium. Thalys also stops here. Lots of on the go food & drinks options located inside the station as well. Ideal stop for a daytrip to the city center or the zoo (which is right next to the main entrance hall).

    Gister rond 14:30 op station Antwerpen geweest. Prachtig station, vriendelijk personeel maar voelde me er onveilig. Personeel sprak dat moment reizigers niet aan wanneer zij geen mondkapje dragen zelfs niet wanneer reizigers aan het loket geholpen worden. Hier sprak ik uiteindelijk zelf een Marokkaanse dame aan die mij vervolgens een rascist noemde. Al was zij degene in dit geval een rascist ivm zij een voorkeursbehandeling verwacht. Andere risico laat lopen door geen mondkapje te dragen en vervolgens haar bek open trekt. Het is dat ik ben opgeleid en begrijp hoe te reageren. Maar dit had uit de hand kunnen lopen als ik verkeerd zou reageren op deze agressieve passagier. Deze passagierwas ook door andere in negatieve zin in de rij aan opgevallenhet loket opgevallen. Ook werden reizigers niet aangesproken op station dat moment in de station hal zelf wanneer zij op station rondlopen, zitten. En mondkapje niet goed over de mond en neus dragen. Terwijl er security rondliep. Deze security waren samen druk aan het babbelen maar echt opletten en mensen aanspreken heb ik ze niet zien doen. Waardoor reizigers elkaar onderling gaan aanspreken. Dit kan niet de bedoeling mogen zijn. Zo ook in de trein, veel mensen die het mondkapje half tot niet op hebben. Hierdoor zal ik de aankomende maanden niet meer met de trein gaan. Omdat er regels gemaakt worden maar niet worden gehandhaafd. Jullie en zo ook Noord Brabant mogen best eens wat strenger en structureel optreden betreft bovenstaande. Aangezien we op deze wijze niet veilig kunnen reizen. Zoals ik gister kwam ik van Gent af. En had zelf 8 maanden niet gereisd. Ik dacht het zal goed gecontroleerd worden. Hele dat was niet het geval. Zo ook niet in Breda en Den Bosch.

    Very beautiful main station. Obviously, it is very crowded so being cautious about pickpocket is recommended. I like the balance between old architecture and new renovations. From the right hand of the main exit is Antwerpen zoo which is convenient for visitors.

    It's a big and beautiful station. Reminds me of Hogwarts at some point. However there's a lack of information and officials in this place. Other than that, all is good. There's Starbucks inside.

  • 5/5 J.E.A. de Zeeuw (. 1 year ago on Google
    A beautiful and historical train station serving local routes and international routes to France and The Netherlands. What impresses me most is the use of three floors for departures, something I've never seen before. Aesthetically, Antwerpen Centraal is both very modern while maintaining its historical identity, perfectly blending the two styles, making it both accessible and a sight to behold. If you ever end up having a long transfer in Antwerpen or feel like visiting the city, take your time to admire not just the city, but the train station too!

  • 4/5 Eraaj K. 1 year ago on Google
    It's probably one of the most beautiful train station in Europe. The architecture is stunning. I just wish they had more lights inside the station. It kind of tends to get somewhat dark in the evenings.

  • 5/5 Jani O. 1 year ago on Google
    Travelled through Antwerpen-Centraal a few times in mid-March 2023. Large station in a beautiful historical building. Many eateries and shops. Cashless payment for luggage lockers. Easy to navigate.

  • 5/5 Michael K. 11 months ago on Google
    Even if you weren't going to use the train, it would be worth stopping in here, and you wouldn't say that about most mass-transit hubs. This station looks amazing. It's up there with Grand Central and Amsterdam Centraal as one of the prettiest stations I've been in. It also functions well as a mass transit hub with easy access to the metro.

    Very beautiful old architecture. Did not feel like a train station, but a castle. Worth visiting.

    Incredible piece of architecture 😍 If you like train stations at all you must visit this place. Despite having a pretty packed day trip to Antwerp i couldn't help spending almost 45 minutes in it taking pictures and just admiring it. The lovely train station of my hometown in Valencia (Spain) now looks like is just a toy in comparision 😆

    Beautiful building serving as the Antwerp Central Station. Here, you'll mistake the real trains for toy trains! See my uploaded photos, and you'll know what I am talking about. :) Artistic facade with a hollow inside and with multiple levels. A convergence point for people. Very near to the world-famous Antwerp diamond market. A must-see if you are in Antwerp. I have included photos taken outside the station as well.
