in the lavishness of Antwerp’s history and culture? Are you
mesmerised by the fi ne quality and superb cut of all those
sparkling, glistening gems in the shop windows of the world’s
diamond capital? Or do you prefer to shop until you drop like

and watch the people of our
bustling city! They are cool, funky, hip and trendy, classical and
fashionable, traditional and edgy, like a colourful painter’s palette.
Antwerp has so much to offer and it is all yours to take.
Our port is the second largest in Europe and from the Middle
Ages onward, the city has been an important trade centre,
multi-coloured and multi-national, never constant, ever
growing and changing, and yet a safe harbour on the banks of
the river Scheldt.
