The main railway station in the Belgian city of Antwerp is Central Station. It's a remarkable building, constructed in the 19th century with all the grandeur of a palace, and is considered one of the finest stations in the world. If you hire a car at Antwerp Central Station you'll find it's conveniently placed within the ring road and on the east side of the Scheldt. The station is sandwiched between the city zoo on one side and the relaxing greenery of the Stadspark on the other. The Carnotstraat arterial road passes the end of the station plaza giving easy access to the heart of the old city to the west and the ring road and motorway links to the east.
Visitors with a hire car in Antwerp can easily explore most of the sights of the world's fourth biggest port. The highlights of this lively Flemish city include the Antwerp City Hall standing on the impressive Grote Markt Place in the heart of Old Town. Amid the cobbled streets and pavement cafés, look out for other tourist spots like the Rubens House-Museum dedicated to one of the greatest Antwerp painters, Paul Rubens. The 14th-century Cathedral is also worth a visit as it The Steen, Antwerp's castle. Families meanwhile, will love the zoo and the Aquatopia aquarium.
