Attractions + Things To Do in Antwerp #1 of 30 Things To Do in Antwerp Central Train Station Antwerpen Antwerp ~0.31 miles from Antwerp city center Hotels Close to Central Train Station Antwerpen ntwerpen-Centraal (Antwerp Central) is the name of the main railway station in the Belgian city of Antwerp. The station is operated by the national railway company NMBS/SNCB. The original station building was constructed between 1895 and 1905 as a replacement for the original terminus of the Brussels-Mechelen-Antwerp Railway. The stone clad terminus buildings, with a vast dome above the waiting room hall were designed by Louis Delacenserie and the vast (185 metres long and 44 metres high) iron and glass trainshed by Clement van Bogaert. The viaduct into the station is also a notable structure designed by local architect Jan Van Asperen. The station is now widely regarded as the finest example of railway architecture in Belgium, although the extraordinary eclecticism of the influences on Delacenserie's design had led to a difficulty in assigning it to a particular architectural style. In W. G. Sebald's Austerlitz an ability to appreciate the full range of the styles that might have influenced Delacensiere is used to demonstrate the brilliance of the fictional architectural historian who is the novel's protagonist. In February 2009, the American newspaper 'Newsweek' found that the station deserved a 4th place as world's most beautiful station. #2 of 30 Things To Do in Antwerp Antwerp Zoo (ZOO Antwerpen) Antwerp ~0.31 miles from Antwerp city center Hotels Close to Antwerp Zoo (ZOO Antwerpen) #3 of 30 Things To Do in Antwerp Diamond District (Neighborhood) Antwerp ~0.32 miles from Antwerp city center Hotels Close to Diamond District Antwerp and diamonds: two concepts that have been closely related for over 500 years.

Later this story was also used to explain the name Antwerp (meaning hand throwing). Brabo once killed a giant, called Druon Antigoon, who asked money from people who wanted to pass by the river Scheldt. When they didn't want to pay, he cut off their hand and threw it in the river. Because of this Brabo also removed the hand of the giant, and threw it away. This mythical story is still shown by the statue in front of the Antwerp City Hall. #19 of 30 Things To Do in Antwerp Antwerp City Hall (Stadthuis) Antwerp ~0.90 miles from Antwerp city center Hotels Close to Antwerp City Hall (Stadthuis) #20 of 30 Things To Do in Antwerp Modemuseum (MoMu) Antwerp ~0.90 miles from Antwerp city center Hotels Close to Modemuseum (MoMu) #21 of 30 Things To Do in Antwerp Butcher's Hall (Vleeshuis) Antwerp ~0.91 miles from Antwerp city center Hotels Close to Butcher's Hall (Vleeshuis) (Local Name: Vleeshuis Museum) The elegant rooms of the late Gothic Vleeshuis (Butchers' Hall) in the Vleeshouwerstraat include the former council chamber of the butchers' guild.
