Itinerary
As we approach this flagship building in the city, how can we resist the urge to welcome you to Rubens? Artistic HQ, especially at its peak, Antwerp has seen several renowned personalities in the field, the most famous of which is undoubtedly Peter Paul Rubens.
Whereas by definition a station is reduced to a common place of passage, the one you have at your side proves on the contrary that it is worth a whole trip. By 1835, Antwerp was already served by railway lines, whereas the terminus was only then a mere platform followed by a modest wooden building.
Apart from saying that Antwerp is a Belgian destination par excellence, can you give us other more unknown truths about it? If nothing comes to mind, then here are 3 little things that are good to know about it.
Welcome to one of the most fascinating places on the planet! You are in the diamond district of Antwerp, a very small perimeter where daily circulate... 500,000 carats of diamonds.
Operetta, modern dance, or classical ballet, this is the kind of lexicon that defines the building universe standing in front of you. Designated Flemish Opera, the site is actually a member of the Vlaanderen Opera.
We can say that the time has come to make you meet a child of the city with the beautiful statue that reveals itself in front of you. It is the look lost in the air, and with his beautiful period outfit, that we introduce you to Antoine Van Dyck.
To understand the full value of the site you were taken to, you will need to enter it. Don’t panic, it’s free!
As if hidden at the end of this alley, the Handelsbeurs is quite the kind of building that breathes history. Forced to admit that its old stock exchange, the Hofstraat, had become too small, Antwerp then started building a completely new version.
In the heart of the historic centre of Antwerp, the church of Saint-Charles-Borromée is one of the finest examples of Baroque architecture in Belgium. Founded by the Jesuits between 1615 and 1621, it was originally named after Saint-Ignace.
Between the ancient medieval houses that surround it and this small square that hosts it, it takes no more than Notre Dame Cathedral to appear even more gigantic than it is.
If the coveted central position on the Grand Place belongs to the statue of Brabo, City Inn does not need this to be noticed. It’s simple, he’s so beautiful and imposing that you only see him!
With an existence of about 500 years, the Butchers House is without surprise one of the most dated public buildings in the city. Until the French Revolution, Antwerp’s butchers were the oldest guild, or merchant association, in the Flemish city.

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).
