Antwerpen Tour
Duration: 5+ hours
Visiting Antwerp is a captivating and rich journey through its cultural past and artistic heritage. The traveling atmosphere provides the good child who enlivens outside life and a cosmopolitan charm that remains eternal.
Beautiful buildings still remain from the city’s golden age in the Grote Markt section providing a plethora of visual delight with many places to see and visit within a concentrated area. The works of painters Peter Paul Rubens and Van Dyck have left their indelible mark as well as the Cathedral built by Jan and Pieter Appelmans, and a book binding business set up by Plantin and Moretus.
