De volgende halte is Antwerpen Centraal

 Heyyy guys, what's up. So Today i'm going to talk about architecture (surprise), this time, a building that I like, so, have a look.

This is Antwerp Cenrtaal Station (Antwerp central station). this is the main railway station in the city of antwerp, and the most important in the region of flandres, Also part of the European west railway line Amsterdam Rotterdam Antwerp Bruxelles Paris by Thalys. Built between 1895 and 1905 and commisioned by the National Railway Company of Belgium and the King of belgium in order to replace the original terminus station of the brussels, mechelen, antwerp railway.

I do love this, place, as you may know by now, I lived in Belgium in a city near to antwerp, for me beeing here was the start of a travel, beeing the only big city on the railway line that crossed my little town called Beringen, this place is awesome, it's beautifull, is modern, and a fantastic place to sleep when you missed your last train!. The station is only 10 minutes away walking from the bay of antwerp and the walk from the station to the cathedral is really but really beautifull.

I first heard of this place because a british magazine (Mashable) ranked this station as the Most beautifull railway station in the world in 2014. Antwerpen Centraal station does not really blend with the sorrounding beacause it is so weird so eclectical but it makes a lovely atmosfere in the places nearby, there is always artistic interventions or cultural things happening in and out the station. This place is a lot more than a station and the locals feel it, it is an important landmark for the city.

That's it for today guys.
bye bye.
