Antwerpen-Berchem is a railway station in the south of the city of Antwerp, Antwerp, Belgium. The station opened on 1 March 1865[1][2] and currently serves railway lines 25, 27, 27A and 59.

History

From opening until 1975, the station was simply known as Berchem, later changing to Berchem (Antwerpen), at a time that international trains stopped here instead of Antwerpen Oost. In 1983, when Berchem and Antwerpen became one city, the station was renamed Antwerpen-Berchem.

International Thalys and Benelux services (from Amsterdam to Brussels and Paris) stopped calling at this station, following the opening of the North-South tunnel under Antwerpen-Centraal. Since December 2014, the Benelux service (Amsterdam - Brussels) calls at the station again.
