Citytrip in Antwerp
Antwerp or “Antwerpen” in dutch,… Everybody knows this city as one of the larger ports of Europe and even more important the world’s leading diamond center. But is that really all Antwerp has to offer? Of course not, Antwerp offers a lot more than harbour and diamonds. Antwerp is a cultural metropole who still has feelings with its medieval roots and the entire city expresses its rich past and its bright future.
Antwerp is situated on the border with the Netherlands approximately 50 km away from Brussels, the European Capital, and 70 km away from Bruges, the most medieval city in the world, which makes it quite interesting to visit all three places during the same holiday.
Some things in Antwerp have to be visited if you ever have the chance:
- The central trainstation: it is really unique in Europe
- ‘t Elzenveld: A historic hospital
- The famous city hall: dates of the middle-ages
- House of Rubens: the house of the famous flemish painter
