The station isn&#8217;t particularly crowded because many trains also arrive at the other station, Antwerp-Berchem.\u00a0So you have the peace of mind to take photos without having to avoid crowds of people.<\/h4>\n<h4>You don&#8217;t need a tripod as there&#8217;s enough light to take adequate shots. Since these are architectural photos, my advice is to always position yourself in the center of the structures, so you have a symmetrical and central view.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>This
