    On the river Schelde there are a lot of old ships and boats on display. They are part of the Maritime Museum at The Steen Castle. Next to the castle you can see a lot of these boats in the old docking and loading areas. It makes a great addition to a riverside stroll.

    This rather unusual museum on the bank of the river at the quiet Left Bank side is a not to be missed feature because of its location from where one has a magnificent view of the city's skyline.
    Also check my travelogue concerning this out of the way museum.

    An interesting idea for spending a pleasant and romantic afternoon in Antwerp could be also a walk on the bank of the river Scheldt. Surrounded by nice and old buildings, the place offers also a nice view of the city with Our Lady’s Cathedral in the background.

    I haven't the foggiest idea why there is a statue of Minerva in Antwerp but she is there near the River Scheldt up near where the Grote Markt is located, perhaps there is some affiliation with Minerva automobiles?

    Minerva is the Roman goddess of crafts, wisdom, medicine, science and trade and also war, commonly identified with the Greek goddess Athena. She was the daughter of Jupiter and Metis.

    • The King Baudoin Memorial - Antwerp
    The King Baudoin Memorial
    by Sinjoor
    Reachable by a 15 minute walk through the pedestrian tunnel, the King Baudoin memorial on the city's Left Bank offers a moment of rest and introspection. Slightly bent over, as if intentively listenting to one of his subjects as was his way in life, our former King stands overlooking the river and the city's Skyline. Take the time to admire this wonderful statue and sit back and enjoy the view of the old center from what used to be the weekend outing for the citizens in ancient times, Left Bank. You might also want to consider extending your visit to this side of the city by walking down the pathway leading along the river and passed the yachting harbour to "St-Anne's Beach" and its restaurants and cafes and open air swimming pool. Behind the restaurants kids will have an opportunity to enjoy themselves in a large playground.

    In Antwerp are operating four shipping companies offering to all tourists an interesting selection of excursions up- or downstream the Scheldt.
    The boats are coming and going from the pontoon off Steenplein.

    Take the pedestrianstunnel to get from the right (touristside) of the Schelde to the left.
    From the left bank you will have a spectaculair view of the Antwerp skyline.

    Many radio fans come to Antwerp to visit the former Radio Veronica ship, that transmitted on MW from the free Nothsea in the 60's and 70's.

    Location: Kempische Dok; kaai 35 - 2030 Antwerpen.

    2008 Update: In the summer the ship has been prepared to be moved. Both main masts have been removed; new masts lie horizontally on deck. There is a plan to buy the ship and bring it over to the Scheveningen harbour as a part of the new National Dutch Pop Museum.

    Take the pedestrian tunnel under the river to the other side of the Scheldt. This area is called 'Linker Oever' (left bank). From the left bank, you'll have an impressive view of the city.
