Antwerp is Belgium’s capital of cool, a dynamic port city that seamlessly blends medieval history with a trendy, modern edge. Known globally as the Diamond Capital of the World, it is a place where sparkling luxury meets raw industrial charm. The city is also a heavyweight in the fashion world, having produced the legendary "Antwerp Six" designers, making it a premier destination for high-end shopping and avant-garde style.

The historic center radiates from the Grote Markt, a stunning market square surrounded by lavish 16th-century guildhalls and the legendary Brabo Fountain. Just a stone's throw away stands the Gothic masterpiece, the Cathedral of Our Lady, which dominates the skyline and houses four masterpieces by the city’s most famous son, the Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens. Visitors arriving by train are greeted by an architectural marvel immediately: Antwerpen-Centraal, often cited as one of the most beautiful railway stations in the world, earning it the nickname "The Railway Cathedral."

Modern Antwerp is best experienced at The MAS (Museum aan de Stroom), a striking red sandstone tower located in the fashionable Eilandje district. The museum tells the story of the city and its port, while its rooftop offers a breathtaking 360-degree panorama of the city. Whether you are exploring the Diamond District, admiring art, or simply enjoying a Belgian beer and chocolates on a terrace, Antwerp offers a rich, cosmopolitan experience.
