Lively Antwerp, fast becoming a rival to Amsterdam, is famous for its fashion and diamonds, as well as some magnificent architecture.
Sights
Famous sights include the Cathedral of Our Lady and Market Square (Grote Markt) with its sizeable Town Hall and guildhalls. Antwerp bristles with museums, one of the most well-known being Rubens' House, now an established stop on the art-lovers' trail. Look out also for the Royal Museum of Fine Art and the 'Momu' Fashion Museum. The Diamond Museum is testament to the fact that Antwerp is home to the world's largest Diamonds industry.
Relax
Antwerp offers trendy boutiques and designer stores, and numerous opportunities to sample local beers and atmosphere in the jazz bars and lively cafés in the Old Town and along the River Sheldt. Head for Meir, the main commercial street, and refresh with a local beer at Den Engel, a classic Antwerp bar by the Grote Markt.
