Description

Meet your guide, a lifelong local, and set off on a walking tour of Antwerp. Begin at St. Anna's Tunnel, a historic pedestrian tunnel dating back to 1933. Continue to Vrijdagmarkt, a square that has hosted a market for over 460 years.

Next, have a quick look in the garden of the Museum Plantin-Moretus, the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Antwerp. Learn why your guide considers it the best museum in the city. Then, head to Groenplaats, the most famous square in the city, and admire the stunning view of the Cathedral of Our Lady.

See the Boerentoren, an Art Deco tower from the 1930s, currently being renovated to become the biggest museum in Antwerp. Then, visit the Handelsbeurs Antwerpen, the old financial market. Recently renovated and re-opened in 2020, it is now one of the most stunning landmarks in the city.

Next, visit Conscienceplein, a little bit of Italy in Antwerp, and see the Carolus Borromeus Church, the only Baroque church in Antwerp, partly designed by Rubens. Then, see the Grote Markt, the central market square with city hall, the only Renaissance city hall in the city.

Continue to the Museum Vleeshuis, the old butcher's hall, currently closed but one of the very oldest buildings in the city. Then, see Het Steen, a building that looks like a castle, and learn about its history from your guide.

Finally, admire the Cathedral of Our Lady, the most important monument in Antwerp, and find out why it's so special. Finish your tour by passing through Vlaeykensgang, the smallest street in Antwerp, dating back to around 1590.
