Liège-Guillemins Station
Gare de Liège-Guillemins
A white steel-and-glass vaulted station designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava with almost no exterior walls. It is considered one of Europe's most beautiful railway stations.
Liège-Guillemins Station opened in 2009 and was designed by Santiago Calatrava. Huge white steel arches and a glass roof cover the platforms, and the station has almost no facade, letting light flood in. It looks like a white bird with its wings spread. It is a hub for Belgian high-speed trains, ICE and Eurostar services, and is about 1 hour from Brussels and about 1 hour from Cologne. In front of the station, a footbridge leads across the Meuse to the Parc de la Boverie on the opposite bank. Entry is free, and for the best panoramic shots, photograph from the forecourt and from both ends of the platforms.
