Wealth, creativity and centuries of international trade have left their mark on Antwerp, creating a city of impressive architecture, excellent dining and a character that feels distinctly different
Antwerp combines grand architecture, a thriving creative scene and a rich trading heritage to create a city that feels both historic and distinctly contemporary. Long associated with diamonds, fashion and international commerce, it offers a different perspective on Belgium from the better-known streets of Brussels and Bruges.
Elegant squares, impressive guild houses and landmark buildings reflect centuries of prosperity, whilst independent boutiques, galleries and acclaimed restaurants showcase a city that continues to evolve. The influence of fashion is evident throughout Antwerp, helping to establish its reputation as one of Europe's most stylish urban destinations.
Luxury hotels, vibrant neighbourhoods and a lively cultural calendar provide plenty of reasons to stay a little longer, whether exploring historic streets, discovering contemporary art or enjoying the city's excellent food scene. Combining heritage, creativity and confidence, Antwerp remains one of Europe's most engaging city breaks.
