The "Golden Triangle" photo is one of my favorites <3 I'm sad we missed this neighborhood when we were in Antwerp for the day. We did love the train station.
I get that. I've had to teach myself to not feel bad about what I miss. In fact, I missed some very cool stuff in Antwerp that I only learned about later!
Great post! I would love to visit, and maybe now I will. I'm not sure if it's the world's most beautiful train station, but it is a wild and crazy monument to architecture. Thanks.
We stayed near this neighborhood, too and enjoyed the wonderful architecture. At one house, there was a “man in a white suit” on the balcony. It took us awhile to be sure it was a statue. Is it still there?
PS: I’m always fascinated by stained glass, as I work in almost all phases of the industry for two decades. Even stained glass painting in the traditional style you see in European churches. Oddly, a lot of our work went to Japan, where European style weddings were a big thing for a while, and loads of churches wanted stained glass.
👏🏻 I can well imagine. Thank heavens for digital, right. I started back in the Kodak/Fuji film days. So now my hard drives are filled up with photos, instead of file boxes. 🙄
Gorgeous photos! I’d never heard of this fabulous architectural heritage either. Thanks so much for sharing it. Amazing photos!
I think a strong contender for most beautiful stations is the Moscow subway. I haven’t been myself, but I had friends go there who were completely blown away. There are tons of photos online. But it’s station after station of incredible architecture, even rows of backlit stained glass windows.
I’d love to do a post myself on it, but I could only use others photos, which are often uncredited. I’ve gone to it virtually so many times I feel as though I’d actually been!
Thanks again for the fantastic slice of Antwerp. I always look forward to your posts, you truly are going places!
Thanks for the kind words! And I've heard great things about Moscow's subway stations. Would be great to go there one day. I'm hoping to take a day here in London to take pictures of the best tube stations!
Love love love that corner balcony that's a ship!
Isn't that just the best? I soooo wanted to get to go inside!

"Most beautiful" is certainly subjective. But there are a lot of lists out there that think so!

Oh, I wish I'd known about that! If he is, I didn't see him, darn it all!

Sorry. Not trying to hijack your comment section!
Not hijacking at all! I've actually got photos of amazing stained glass at a church in Gouda, Netherlands, I've yet to share!

Alas, all my old non digital pics are long gone...

I'll stay 15 days in Antwerp and I'm preparing my trip...
Many THANKS, guys!!!!
