Antwerp View breaks >>


Situated approximately 50 miles from the North Sea coast on the banks of the river Schedlt, Antwerp is one of the busiest riverside cities across the globe. This sophisticated Belgian settlement has established itself as a buzzing, stylish metropolis of culture, trade, fashion and history and is widely recognised as the world's 'diamond capital'.

Influence from the Renaissance era is prevalent throughout the city, reflected in many of its attractions, such as Ruben's House and the unconventionally shaped city square of Grote Markt. Nestled amongst the city's abundance of cultural and historical sights, are vast open spaces of lush greenery and beautiful parklands. Antwerp, the second biggest city in Belgium is divided in nine separate districts, each of which are home to a plethora of outstanding architectural buildings.

Antwerp is a fascinating city, full of gems and treasures to cater for visitors of all generations. Whether you are searching for an array of rich Belgian history, cultural events, excellent shopping or fine cuisine, you will discover it all, and more, in this magical city.
