Lonely Planet review for Centraal Station

One of the city's premier landmarks is the extraordinary Centraal Station, designed by Louis Delacenserie at the start of the 20th century in a harmonious blend of styles. Steps lead from the main hall with its enormous dome up to the glass-covered train platforms above. The station and adjoining Koningin Astridplein have been undergoing massive works for years to accommodate the Eurostar and Thalys fast trains, thus directly linking the city to London and the rest of Europe. .

The station is also diamond central, with many shops selling diamonds inside the station, and the Diamond District immediately south-west of it.

    Impressive!

    ire_a_m recommends this,

    The Centraal Station is really impressive, both from the inside and the outside. So, even if you're not travelling, the building is well worth a visit! Even though it's always a bit chilly, it's the perfect place to start any trip in Flanders. Plus it has a few shops to catter some snacks (including a supermarket express) and it houses the only Starbucks in Antwerp
