Antwerp has nearly a thousand monuments and 164 outdoors virgin Mary statues. Its history is present everywhere in town, whether you’re walking through the underground canals, the fully equipped printing works which dates back to the Renaissance or through the magnificent house where Rubens lived and worked.
And Antwerp is still an arts & crafts centre today, where you can gawk at, buy or borrow world-class diamonds, fashion, art & photography. It’s a city where people enjoy living well; in its restaurants you can feast on Flemish specialties like rabbit or beef stewed in geuze beer, eel in a green herb sauce or many, many sweets; and in its pubs you can sample some 500 different kinds of Belgian beer.
