"Hard to go the Wrong Way in Antwerp" Antwerp by richiecdisc


Antwerp Travel Guide: 3,341 reviews and 6,432 photos

Despite being Belgium’s second largest city after capital Brussels, Antwerp remains a finely guarded secret. This, of course, is part of its charm and on your first visit, you will find yourself asking, “Why have I not been here before?” time and time again. Blessed with a plethora of architecturally stunning buildings, its Grote Markt is perhaps Belgium’s finest, and among the most picturesque town squares in all of Europe. Though it also ranks as the most cosmopolitan of Belgian cities, its true attraction lies down the offbeat side streets, where one can find interesting cafes full of colorful characters and some of the widest beer selections in the country. Though down the list for first time visitors, Antwerp remains a favorite of all those who have been and have explored Belgium at some length.
