What to see in Antwerp

Antwerp is a vibrant and multi-layered city on the banks of the mighty Scheldt, where port energy, rich history and vibrant culture intertwine. There are traces of medieval power and Renaissance flourishing, and modern squares and embankments create a friendly atmosphere for walks and discoveries. The city is known for its artistic tradition and trade crafts, from the diamond quarter to the magnificent facades in the center.

Manufactures and facilities

Man-made attractions of Antwerp amaze with diversity: lively Meir Street with pompous architecture and the Farmer's Tower, the majestic Grote Markt Square with the city hall and cozy terraces, the ancient Wall Castle by the water and the Cathedral of the Antwerp Our Lady with its famous tower. In the city you can find monuments to great painters - Peter Paul Rubens and Anton van Dijk, as well as elegant Gothic and Baroque temples, such as the Church of St. Paul and St. Jacob. Contemporary art is on display at the Verbeke Foundation’s collection park, and BOBBEJAANLAND Park is nearby for family entertainment.

Natural attractions and places

The natural features around Antwerp organically complement the urban landscape: the Scheldt River forms picturesque promenades and opportunities for boat trips, and the Deile and Nete rivers flow nearby with green banks and quiet recreation areas. The embankment along the Scheldt is especially attractive for evening walks and excursion flights, which open a different perspective on urban views. In the vicinity there are park spaces and art gardens where you can feel the nature of Flanders in silence or in the open air.
