In a nutshell
Older and less modern than Amsterdam but picturesque
124 Reviews The Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal or Cathedral of our lady with its 123 meters hight tower still is the highest building in downtown Antwerp. Construction of this huge church started in 1352 and completion of the first stage took 200 years; even today the works on the Gothic style church are not...
74 Reviews Located in the Centre of Antwerp right next to the Central Railway Station,the Zoo is the oldest Animal park in Belgium and one of the oldest Zoo's in the World.

Amadeus - spare ribs a volonte
5 Reviews Amadeus is a great restaurant with its top speciality: unlimited spare ribs. The outside may be less attracting, the inside of the restaurant offers 100% good food and quick service. Long tables are waiting for your party. The ribs are a fest to eat. Served on a wooden rectangular plate with a...
Elfde Gebod - Eleventh Commandment
10 Reviews Restaurant Het Elfde Gebod is a local restaurant near the market square. Even if you are not hungry, go inside to admire the holy decorations and have a drink in this popular place. Business hours: Daily from Noon.
22 Reviews Café d’Anvers is één van de oudste authentieke houseclubs van Europa. Ze opende haar deuren in 1989 en staat vandaag de dag nog steeds aan de top van de scene met de beste en bekendste dj’s en producers ter wereld wekelijks achter de draaitafels. De locatie is een 16de eeuwse kerk in het midden van...
Old, brown, or historical pubs and taverns
60 Reviews Muze is situated in the heart of the tourist section of Antwerp but also attracts local clientele. While trying to find a seat for my girlfriend and myself I had to go to the bar on the top floor. Aside from a few locals the bar was empty. While asking these people to excuse us so that we may walk...
32 Reviews In Antwerp the "De Lijn" company axplores the local busses. The Rooseveltplaats still is the main bus terminal square, but there are plans to transfer the square into a pedestrian area. Bus Route Planner
42 Reviews It's always a pleasure when arriving somewhere new to be greeted by a magnificent railway station and Antwerpen Centraal certainly is one of the best. The station was built between 1895 and 1905 with the terminus buildings designed by the Belgian architect Louis Delacenserie, the vaulted train shed...
38 Reviews Urban streetwear for men/women. After the succes in Oostende / Gent / Knokke / Brugge, this famous shop finally settled in the fashion capital of Belgium. This shop has the most modern clothes in every other city!
24 Reviews A well known fact about Belgium is its chocolates. In this respect a spot which is certainely not to be missed by tourists visiting our city is "Chocolaterie Burie", a renowned establishment in Antwerp. This chocolate shop is known not only for the outstanding quality of its products, but also for...
18 Reviews There is some Antwerp legend (I'm afraid I don't remember the details but it's not important) about a giant and a man who fight, the man wins and cuts of the giant's hand (natives - feel free to correct me). So there is a statue to commemorate this, and the chocolate shops sell little chocolate...
41 Reviews In 2004 the tallships race was back in Antwerp again. It was one of the great events this summer. Lot of activity is going on, when the tall ships are here. The event will be back in tge summer of 2006.
places better to avoid at night
5 Reviews As with most cities in Europe the area around the central station is best avoided after dark. Especially beware for the streets around the infamous Conincksplein, as they tend to attract the more sketchy figures of our otherwise wonderful and vibrant city... Especially a lot of junks scavenge this...
8 Reviews If you come by car to Antwerpen be aware you will hit a road construction zone somewhere. More info: Present road construction at Antwerp Construction at the Antwerp highway exits and more
Not all that glitters is gold, don't pay too much!
4 Reviews Beware of the jewellery stores situated under Central Station along the Pelikaanstraat. Not all shops are kosher. Prices may look interesting but if you are not an expert you might pay what you think a reasonable price for 18kt gold and go home with less. Take someone with you who knows something...
Disapointing, not worth seeing
5 Reviews Many people (esp. Dutch people...) go to Antwerp to visit the "Vogelenmarkt" ('bird market'). Don't be fooled: it is a (flea) market as any other and the time when all sorts of birds were on sale is long gone. At present, only a small part of the market is dedicated to pet animals following protests...
9 Reviews This is worth mentioning as well. There are two flights of escalators to reach the tunnel. Though they are still steep and very long. No wonder the escalator system were built to descent the height of 30m. What impresses though is the noise those escalators produced. They are wood escalators with...
12 Reviews Inside the church gate, the Mount Calvary is situated, surround by houses from beginning 16th century. It's a peculiar, spectacular open-air theatre of statues, built between 1700-1734. It depicts the trial, torture, death and burial of Christ. The Calvary garden was built from 1700-1734 and has...
Grote Markt / Big Market square
24 Reviews Unfortunately, the GUILD HOUSES are not all original. In 1576 a large part of the Grote Markt burned down. Hans Vredeman, the town architect was instrumental in rebuilding these magnificent houses, in Flemish Renaissance style.
18 Reviews The David Teniers statue stands just off the Frankrijklei in between the Keyserlei and the Meir. Daid was a famous painter (1610-1690) and he made several hundreds of paintains. Farmer landscapes are amongst the best-known by his hand.
