Antwerp Photo Gallery

A bit overshadowed by Brussels, Antwerp has historically been known for its port and diamonds. However, it also has a beautiful historic square, plenty of architectural gems, good museums, and you can easily reach Ghent and Bruges for day trips. Hotels are also cheaper, making it an attractive base to explore Belgium.
From Brussels' airport, it is only a 30 minute train ride into Antwerp's spectacular central station. Ghent is an hour away in a different direction while Bruges is a further 30 minutes out.
I stayed for 3 nights, spending 1.5 days in the city exploring the old town and selecting 1 museum to visit. I spent another day in Ghent.
The old town is compact and very walkable. Be sure to head both north and south of it to explore the more modern parts of the city, as well as the riverfront. Antwerp consistently ranks among the busiest ports in Europe in close competition with nearby Rotterdam.
