Berlin has a rather impressive central station now (there's a 'Megastructures' episode on Youtube about it). Brussels central is really a small station as there are only 6 tracks on the north-south link. All international trains depart or arrive at Brussels South (aka 'Midi') and many don't even stop at central even if they have to pass through it. A really nice station is Antwerp central, it has a single span steel and glass roof, but there are now three levels below the original one. You can look up from the lowest one up to the roof.
