Antwerp Free Walking Tour

The city that longs to be the capital of Belgium, maintains in the so-called heart of Europe one of the most important ports, both at a European and world level.

On this Antwerp Free Walking Tour you will discover the history of the port of Antwerp dating back to the time of Napoleon. This character ordered the construction of his first pier and, after several behind the scenes, today he is the protagonist of one of the most important economic factors of the city and the country.

This port city made the Diamond Market flourish, this trade that dates back to the 15th century and in which approximately 80% of the world's rough diamond circulates today. So, if we are looking to make purchases of this precious stone so valued by society, we have arrived at the right place and we will have an entire neighborhood to make our eyes shine.

But always a good jewel has to go with a dress that accompanies it. And it is there that the famous international designers "The Antwerp Six" enter the scene, who have dedicated their lives to fashion for all kinds of tastes, or perhaps choose to shop on the Meir, the most famous shopping street in the country with more than 250 stores.

But if we prefer art or another type of culture, we will have to choose between several options, since the city offers us a wide variety of museums, exhibitions and a wide range of places for the laser.

For the inhabitants of this city, Antwerp is a city and the rest is a parking lot. And with this popular phrase we invite you to know why.

We will meet at a strategic point in the city, very close to the train station, next to the Opera Ballet in Plaats Teniers at the foot of the sculpture by this Flemish painter.
