Historical Info

Antwerp, daughter of the River Scheldt and second largest city of Belgium.. The 500.000 inhabitants call it the 'Metropolis' (Antwerpians are known in Belgium for not being too modest). This city has so many different facets that it takes a while before one gets to know it thoroughly.
It is the second largest harbor of Europe (after Rotterdam). Moreover, Antwerp is a splendid city with numerous architectural highlights, most of which date from the 16th (the golden era of Antwerp) and the 17th century.
Antwerp, the diamond center of the World. If diamonds really are a girl's best friend, than a lot of ladies will not leave out a visit to the diamond district around the Railway Station

    Lovely pages and photo's, you saw and did so much in your time here. The Cathedral looks marvellous, and I like the Steen, looks like a fairytale Castle. Belgium chocs, mmm! just the thought makes me hungry.

    Excellent Antwerp page with lovely photographs! The city certainly has lots of interesting tourist attractions such as Grote Markt, the Cathedral, Steen and Groenplaats. Bring back fond memories of our trip to that city on several occasions. ~ho & pang

    I don't understand some people. That's a really good tip but you only got a 2 star rating. That's a 4 star tip if ever I saw one!
