City guide to Antwerp Belgium

by Alex Bruni on 09 07 11

Antwerp, daughter of the River Scheldt and second largest city of Belgium.. The 500.000 inhabitants call it the ‘Metropolis’ (Antwerpians are known in Belgium for not being too modest). This city has so many different facets that it takes a while before one gets to know it thoroughly.

Antwerp is a splendid city with numerous architectural highlights, most of which date from the 16th (the golden era of Antwerp) and the 17th century. The destructions of the Second World War, unfortunately, has scarred somehow the fair face of the old town.
