Overview

Antwerp. You don't know this City but you'd like to. Places you visit pique your historical interest. Guided tours can be discouraging, though, because they bowl you over with too much technical data and endless listings of dates and facts.
Instead, join us by stepping into Antwerp's story. We follow Antwerp's path through the people who made this City. We walk with you to show you how Antwerp became one of the most important trade centres in Europe.
And then what happened? Join us for a walk through Antwerp's beauty and history guided by a schooled storyteller

    Cathedral of Our Lady

    This Gothic grandeur houses many stories and many works of art. You can visit it all day, but you have to pay. We view it from the outside, and I'll make you curious about this fact: there is a similarity to a famous cathedral in Barcelona. Do you spot it?
