Antwerp

Antwerp, situated on the banks of the Scheldt River, is a city that captivates with its multifaceted identity. Globally recognized as the epicenter of the diamond trade, where over 80% of the world's rough diamonds pass through its famous Diamond District, its brilliance extends far beyond. The city is also a pillar of European fashion, home to avant-garde designers and the prestigious Royal Academy of Fine Arts. The legacy of Peter Paul Rubens permeates the city; his former home and studio, the Rubenshuis, and his masterpieces in the Cathedral of Our Lady are essential visits. The historic center, with the Grote Markt and its Renaissance guild houses, contrasts with the modern architecture of the Museum aan de Stroom (MAS) and the futuristic Port House. This duality between old and new makes Antwerp a dynamic and essential destination.

Complete guide of Antwerp

For a complete Antwerp experience, organize your itinerary by area. Start in the historic center, exploring the Grote Markt, the Cathedral, and the medieval Vlaeykensgang alley. Dedicate time to Rubens' legacy by visiting his house-museum (Rubenshuis) and the Royal Museum of Fine Arts (KMSKA) in the trendy Zuid district. Public transport, managed by De Lijn, is the best option for moving between districts; consider buying a day pass for unlimited travel. Gastronomy is a highlight: look for 'friteries' for authentic fries and visit the De Koninck brewery for a tasting. For a free panoramic view, go up to the rooftop of the MAS museum in the Eilandje district. Finally, admire the architecture of the Central Station, considered one of the most beautiful in the world, and browse the shops of the adjacent Diamond District.
