Description

Meet your local guide and begin a walking tour of Antwerp at St. Anna's Tunnel, a pedestrian passage built in 1933. Proceed to Vrijdagmarkt, a square known for its market held continuously for over 460 years.

Visit the garden of Museum Plantin-Moretus, Antwerp’s only UNESCO World Heritage Site, and hear why your guide regards it as the city’s top museum. From there, head to Groenplaats square to view the Cathedral of Our Lady.

See the Boerentoren, an Art Deco tower from the 1930s undergoing renovation to become Antwerp's largest museum. Then walk to Handelsbeurs Antwerpen, a historic financial market recently restored and reopened in 2020.

Explore Conscienceplein, noted for its Italian influence, and visit the Carolus Borromeus Church, Antwerp’s only Baroque church partly designed by Rubens. Continue to Grote Markt, the central square featuring the city’s sole Renaissance city hall.

Pass by Museum Vleeshuis, one of Antwerp’s oldest buildings and a former butcher’s hall (currently closed). Then see Het Steen, a castle-like structure with a rich history explained by your guide.

Conclude the tour with an up-close look at the Cathedral of Our Lady, Antwerp’s most important monument, and stroll through Vlaeykensgang, the smallest street dating back to the late 16th century.
