When you visit Antwerp you must see the Central Station. When You're in the main entrance hall, don't forget to look up. And just stand there for a few moments and enjoy what you see.
If you walk through the station you see the changes from on ald station build in the 1800 to the modern station builded/renovated in 2007.

Train information
If you have to take the train here, BE ON TIME! It's a big station and it has different levels. And usualy it's a very long line for buying the tickets. So ohterweis you do this the day you arrive on time, or a few days before. The trains to The Netherlands and France or always at -2. Usualy Platforms 22 and 23.

I wright the streetnames in Dutch, so you can find them also on the walls of the street. This is handy for oriantation or asking the way... it's also little bit funny, in this way you can try to speek dutch.

its such a pretty city! we've only made it over there when we were on a mission to do things...we really need to make time to marvel at things like the train station!
I know the feeling, sometimes it's just rush rush rush. But believe me, when you do look up, or stand still for a moment, it also gives you that extra-peacefull-relaxing feeling. I'll hope in the future you'll find some time, and enjoy the things around you. You would be suprised, try it out sometimes. Good luck and have fun!
