    From Amsterdam
    The high speed train route between Antwerp and Paris now stops at Antwerp's central station (and not anymore at the Antwerp berchem station). You can also take a regular intercity train, which connects the Amsterdam Central Station to the Antwerp Central Station in about 2 hrs. The high speed train is currently not much faster but you can reserve seats. The trains also stop at the Schiphol National Airport. For schedules, see here :

    Central station
    by Luchonda
    Getting from Gent to Antwerp and back only for 8 euro's in the weekend - so forget to use your car - avoid traffic jam and searching for parking space which is expensive too.
    Actually and this till 2006 Antwerp is renovating it's central station - and exceptionally - "but this every day" - the train stops in Antwerp/Berchem.
    Another connection to Central station is included - but be fast and take a run - especially in case of the "last"connection

    Unfortunately, if you arrive at the Berchem station (Antwerp has two stations), you're not very close to the city center. After some inquiry, we discovered the best way was to hop on one of the local trains that was heading to Antwerp Centraal, a beautiful train station.

    I would imagine that Antwerp would make an excellent "base" from which to explore other places in Western Europe by train. From here, you're very close to Amsterdam and Koln in one direction, Brussels and Paris in the other - and really not that far from London across the Channel. Lots of people come through Antwerp - but unlike Brussels, it's not really an "expense account" kind of place.

    Well this is how you get to and leave Antwerp sometimes :-) by train!
    After a good dinner with Helga (Helga67), Chiara (Pollon) and Aadil (and your humble reporter Irisbe-that-is-me) we all went to put Chiara on the right train to Oostende where she was going to meet up with Patricia (Funkymama)

    The fast trains from Paris, Brussels & Amsterdam still stop at Berchem rather than Centraal. Although the renovations at Centraal SEEM to be near their end ...

    The view in the photo-collage was taken from the Thalys' platform and is of Antwerp traffic on a bright cold October morning:)

    Thalys seems to have the monopoly of this axis, Paris to Antwerp. Its is still the best way to travel into Antwerp. It takes about 2hrs.

    Getting in Antwerp you can choose. There are many ways to get here: plane, train, car, boat, ...
    Easiest way to get around, and not expensive, is by tram. They most pleasant one too. Of course you have the more common ones like bus or underground too. But in a tram, you can see Antwerp the best, according to me.

    The railway staion Antwerpen Dam is one of the many small train stations in Antwerp. It is only used by local trains from Antwerp to Roosendaal (NL) and they stop at every station. Only one train every hour.
