Enjoy Belgian chocolate<br />
cake and the hands cake<br />
It is impossible not to mention chocolate in<br />
Belgium, and Antwerp is no exception. In<br />
contrast to the large number of chocolate shops<br />
in Brussels or Bruges, each chocolate shop in<br />
Antwerp is like an enchanting mini gallery where<br />
the glass shelves are decorated in golden strings<br />
of light with each chocolate piece looking sleek<br />
and shiny like an expensive piece of jewlery.<br />
If you are looking for a true Belgian chocolate<br />
box with perfectly made chocolate pieces in it,<br />
look no further than the Günther Wattä.<br />
Besides chocolate, Belgian biscuits are also<br />
beyond delicious. Biscuits here are usually<br />
shaped like a hand (handje) with a layer of<br />
thinly grated almonds on top. Some adorn a<br />
fake diamond ring on the hand to tell the story<br />
of the giant Druon Antigoon and the city's<br />
history in diamond making.<br />
At the end of my trip, my suitcase was filled<br />
with fragant vanilla and almond handjes bought<br />
from Philip's Biscuit, a charming shop found on<br />
Korte Gasthuisstraat. During the cold winter<br />
days, to sit with my partner by the fireplace<br />
and enjoy the handje with a hot tea is the best<br />
feeling in the world.<br />

Get there<br />
ñ From Brussels, you can take the train<br />
to Antwerp as the most convenient<br />
way to travel which takes about 45<br />
minutes. Train ticket can be bought at<br />
the Gare du Midi (Gare Zuid) Station<br />
in Brussels.<br />
Language<br />
ñ Antwerp is the second largest city<br />
in Belgium with a population of about<br />
half a million. The city is located in<br />
the Flanders region, so Dutch is their<br />
the primary language. However, local<br />
people speak English very well.<br />
Sightseeing<br />
ñ Admission to the Rubensshuis<br />
Museum is 8 euros. If you present<br />
your train ticket to Antwerp within<br />
the day, the ticket costs only 6 Euros.<br />
ñ Admission for the Plantin-Moretus<br />
Museum is 8 euros.<br />
ñ From the Antwerp Central Station,<br />
you can take the metro to Meir<br />
Station to visit Rubensshuis, then walk<br />
to other attraction spots in the city.<br />
Note<br />
ñ If you are traveling in a group, keep<br />
quiet when you are in Vlaeykensgang<br />
since the alley is very small and has<br />
loud echo.<br />
ñ A serving at the Frites Atalier<br />
Amsterdam is quite generous, and can<br />
substitue dinner.<br />
