Monument · 20 min · free · the great 1905 station, with a dome and marble concourse

The first sight in Antwerp begins as you step off the train. The central station, opened in 1905, has a marble concourse with a stone dome and an iron and glass hall above the platforms, which are now spread across three levels. It is one of the most spectacular stations in Europe.
What to see
Go up to the concourse gallery to see the dome and the staircase up close. Next door is Antwerp Zoo, and from the door starts the Keyserlei, the avenue that leads to the Meir, the shopping street, and the historic centre, about twenty minutes on foot.
