Antwerp

Immerse yourself in the stylish sophistication of Antwerp, Belgium’s fashion and diamond capital, where the iconic Cathedral of Our Lady towers with its soaring Gothic spires and Rubens masterpieces, the historic Grote Markt dazzles with ornate guild houses and the legendary Brabo Fountain, and the Meir shopping street connects to the trendy Nationalestraat and Het Zuid districts pulsing with avant-garde Belgian designers, flagship stores of Dries Van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester, and the Antwerp Six, plus the world-famous ModeMuseum (MoMu).

Wander the atmospheric diamond district around the Central Station—home to over 80% of the world’s rough diamonds—with its glittering shops and Hasidic diamond traders, explore the Rubens House museum in the artist’s former home and studio, cruise the Scheldt River past the massive port (Europe’s second-largest), or relax in the lush Middelheim Museum’s open-air sculpture park—all in a cosmopolitan city that masterfully blends 16th-century Flemish Golden Age grandeur with cutting-edge fashion, world-class art, and warm Flemish hospitality.

Savor rich Flemish beef stew (stoofvlees) with fries, delicate Antwerpse handjes chocolates, crispy cuberdons (neuzekes), and crisp De Koninck beer amid lively cafés, fashion weeks, and the unmistakable rhythm of a city that feels both historic and fiercely modern.

Antwerp isn’t just a destination—it’s Belgium’s most stylish fusion of diamonds, design, and Flemish soul—plan your Antwerp escape today!
