Description
One of the main landmarks of Antwerp is its railway station. Dubbed the ‘Railway Cathedral’ , it is one of the world’s most impressive railway stations.
The station was completed in 1905 and replaced an earlier wooden one.
The main building has a huge dome over the main waiting hall and the platforms are covered by a huge iron and glass vaulted ceiling.
In 2009 the magazine Newsweek judged Antwerpen-Centraal the world's fourth greatest train station. In 2014 the British-American magazine Mashable awarded Antwerpen-Centraal the first place for the most beautiful railway stations of the world.
