Antwerp, or Antwerpen (in Dutch), or Anvers (in French), was the first city I went to from Brussels both times in 2006 and 2011.

The first time was unplanned. It just happened that the train for Antwerp came first, but on my second trip, I was eager to see the Central Railway Station (Photo 1 to 10) again. This is definitely one of the most impressive train stations I have ever seen. A stroll in their historical district was also a relaxing enjoyment to forget that I had not slept for a straight 48 hours.
