by tompt A quiet spot in the middle of the city is the Vlaaikensgang. Enter through the gate from the Oude Koornmarkt 16 and you walk back in time. This narrow street dates back to 1591. Inhabitants of this street were shoemakers. And as they were alsways at home, close to the cathedral, they also had the task of ringing the heavy bell of the cathedral in the case of an emergency or danger. Houses are white because government ordered them to be painted white in order to ban out contagious diseases. The diseases are long gone, but the houses here are kept white.

Although sometimes called an “insider tip”, this alley is like a must do on an Antwerp sightseeing trip. This has led to an increase in number of visitors and a widespreading tof this secret. In the Vlaakiensgang, you will get a small impresiion of how Antwerp’s old town looked like in the 16th century. For centuries, the alley was in a bad condition until a larger restauration projet took place in the 1960s. If you are lucky to be quite alone, you will feel the quiet atmostphere in contrast to the busy streets around you.

This is one of the oldest surviving sections of Antwerp. It's a warren of narrow alleys and passageways, that connect homes, small shops, cafes, etc. It's very easy to get lost in here, so don't go if you're in a hurry to get to something else.
