点评:Antwerpen Centraal received a significant upgrade and improvements since I was last there in 1994. The original building is notable for its decor and ornamentation in what one might call 'style Leopold II.' However, a modern station has been constructed on many levels under the original steel-and-glass shed over the tracks. Trains are one four levels, and it is fascinating to watch them arrive and depart on the different levels.
There are many modern conveniences in the station: modern, clean restrooms (for a nominal fee), many good restaurants to grab a quick bite to eat, and a news agent for books, magazines, and snacks. Lockers are also available; they are tucked in obscure places so you will have to look for the signs. There is good signage everywhere. The Belgian railway ticket machines are easy to use (you can change the language), but in my experience they only take card payments - no cash. There is a ticket office for the railway, and also machines for DeLijn, which is the local public transit system.
翻译:自从我1994年上次去安特卫普中央火车站以来,它经历了重大的升级改造。原有的建筑以其“利奥波德二世风格”的装饰而闻名。然而,在原有的钢玻璃棚下,如今已建成了一个多层现代化车站。列车共有四层,观看它们在不同楼层的停靠和出发令人着迷。
车站内有许多现代化的便利设施:现代化、干净的卫生间(收取少量费用)、许多不错的餐厅可以快速享用美食,以及一个出售书籍、杂志和小吃的报刊亭。车站内也提供储物柜,但它们藏在不起眼的地方,所以你需要寻找标识。车站各处都有清晰的标识。比利时的火车售票机很容易使用(你可以更改语言),但根据我的经验,它们只接受刷卡,不接受现金。车站内设有铁路售票处,以及当地公共交通系统DeLijn的售票机。
