 List for city walks! by Norali
Walking shoes + cotton socks, of course!! With my leather derby shoes, I had troubles at the end of the day since the soil was hot. My feet hurted a bit after quite 8 hours of walk.
For 8 hours of walk during summer days, don't forget your Cityblock, Sunblock or other high SPF and coverage cream.
Zoom equipment to shoot those breathtakingly beautiful monuments and places... Memory sticks or more films...
Maps if you are doing it alone (no guiding)..
Sunglasses Leave a Comment

Dress lightly in summer, but always bring along warm clothes too! It suddenly can rain or get cold. In autumn, winter and spring you will have to bring warm clotes & a raincoat.
Film is available here, you can also get your film developped here.

 STADHUIS (TOWN HALL) by matcrazy1
For shopping: empty suitcases/bags + a lot of euros or better good credit/debit cards :-).
Comfortable walking shoes: like good trainers or better special walking shoes (Danish Ecco are very comfortable and... expensive but worth of its price).
Sun-glasses and... rain coat (or/and less comfortable umbrella).
Check the climate in Antwerp:
World Climate
Check the weather (10-day forecast for Antwerp) before you go:
The Weather Channel
Much more rolls of film for your camera or huge memory card for digi cam.
For pictures at night and bad light (interiors) take a tripod.
Buy good map of Antwerp (detailed with one-way street marked if you drive a car). Leave a Comment

 a trendy optician by belgianchocolate
.just one tip for you. Leave enough space in
your luggage. Antwerp is
'the' shopping city of Belgium.'
If you come by airplane maybe it is useful to
check how much luggage is allowed. Leave a Comment

In March, it wasn't too cold, but you do need something to break the wind and a sweater or sweatshirt underneath will help. Leave a Comment

You'll get lower exchange rate than if you were to exchane your cash, and you will pay lower commissions than if you came up with a travel cheque. But, above all, you'll get safety: you will not be crying over money lost forever even if your ATM card gets stolen. And, even more than that, you can pay in many shops by a plastic card.
But, however, here are some important rules to keep in mind:
1) Do use Electron/Cirrus/any other debit card for withdrawals, as any other thing will be considered a cash advance,
2)Try to take out money few times but in bigger sums so as not to accumulate fees,
3) If you loose you card call the issuing company immediatley and better call you bank, too, to block the card. Leave a Comment

Weather, while you're in Belgium you'll discover soon enough that this is really a rainy country... So prepare yourself :) Unless you like the song :' singing in the rain' Leave a Comment

It is a great idea to arrive in this city with some room in your suitcase, bag or backpack, so you will be able to take home some delicious chocolate, or even some of the beautiful Diamond jewellery that this city is so well known for. Leave a Comment

Tums for upset tummies....eat your heart out, Steve. ;>
A great companion on a pub crawl is essential. Caro proves that it does not have to be someone that drinks beer for beer with you, but someone that can listen to your drunken ramblings for over twelve hours and keep a smile on their face. She's a great guide even if she couldn't find the Kulminator without me. :P Leave a Comment
