Itinerary
These remnants of the mighty castle of Antwerp have seen the town grow and fall. It's here that the town started, so why would we start anywhere else?
The mighty hall of the Butchers reflect their wealth and power in old Antwerp.
The highest church tower of our country - and a marvel of gothic architecture. A sign of the Antwerpian megalomania - or a witness of our ancestor's pious nature?
Discover with me how Antwerp rose from a medieval town into a golden pearl of the Flemish renaissance; follow in the steps of Italian bankers, Spanish inquisitors and our own local merchants who contributed to a rich tapestry of stories for you to discover.

About Antwerp
Antwerp is a Flemish port city on the Scheldt, known for its Gothic cathedral, Rubens, a grand railway station and the diamond trade.
The tall spire of the Gothic cathedral rises above the old centre, and inside hang paintings by Rubens, who lived in the city and whose house and studio are now a museum. The Grote Markt is ringed by gabled guild houses and has a fountain showing the hero Brabo hurling a giant's severed hand into the river, a story linked with the city's name. The railway station, finished in 1905, is nicknamed the railway cathedral.
Top-ranked sights in Antwerp: Grand Market Place (Grote Markt van Antwerpen), Cathedral of Our Lady, Butcher's Hall (Vleeshuis).
