Description
Meet your guide at your preferred location (in central Antwerp) and head on a 3 or 5-hour private walking tour (depending on your preference). This Belgian city, situated in the center of Flanders, is considered a diamond hub, as it currently cuts 85% of the world’s rough diamonds. If you would like to find out more, you can visit one of the many workshops to see how the diamonds are delicately cut.
Meander through the city center until you get to the striking Grote Markt, Antwerp’s most important square, then visit the Cathedral of Our Lady, home to several masterpieces by Peter Paul Rubens, and marvel at the legendary Brabo Fountain. Your professional guide will reveal the legend of this Roman soldier and why it is linked to the history of Antwerp.
Admire the city’s emblematic landmarks, including Steen Castle. This fortress, commissioned by Charles V, is the oldest building still standing in the city and was once used as a prison during the seventeenth century.
If you enjoy art and architecture, Antwerp is a great place to visit. Walk to the Rubens House and discover the painter’s most prominent work, then discover the Baroque-style Antwerpen-Centraal railway station, among other beautiful monuments and buildings.
