About this activity

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

Itinerary

Grote Markt

20 min

On the beautiful Grote Markt in front of City Hall, we meet.

We'll take you on a journey through the history of the city.
Het Steen

15 min

A remnant of the first stone city wall. Behind this wall now hides the tourist information center, with a panoramic view of the river and old town at the top.
Museum Vleeshuis

20 min

An early 16th-century butchers' guild house, now a museum with a collection of historic musical instruments
Carolus Borromeus Church

15 min Admission not included

This church is the result of the Counter-Reformation during the 16th century. Built by the Jesuits and many works of art by Antwerp's greatest Baroque painter, but......
Handelsbeurs Antwerpen

20 min

The most important stock exchange of the 16th century and a later example, copied by the major trading cities of Northern Europe. If the door is open, don't hesitate and step inside, it's worth it.
Cathedral of Our Lady

10 min Admission not included

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?
Museum Plantin-Moretus

20 min Admission not included

This world heritage site is a must if you love art and history, and more specifically printing and publishing in the 16th and 17th centuries. I will take you to the garden, and then you can still decide if you want to buy a ticket. Please note, closed on Mondays.
