Antwerp Free Tour

Discover the hidden gems of Antwerp, one of Belgium's most picturesque cities, renowned as the city of giants, through this engaging walking tour.

Explore Antwerp

Commence your journey in the Grote Markt ("Great Market Square"), the central square that sets the perfect stage for exploring the wealth and history of Flanders' largest city. This square is a stunning testament to Antwerp's 'golden age' during the sixteenth century, reflecting a time of great wealth and international significance, often celebrated as the heart of the global economy during that period.

As you walk, you will encounter key architectural marvels, including Het Steen, the medieval fortress that once fortified the vital port crucial to Antwerp's economic success, the St. Charles Borromeo Church, admired for its artwork by the renowned Dutch master Rubens, and the Boerentoren (the "Farmer's Tower", officially known as KBC Tower), representing the modern aspect of Antwerp and recognized as one of Europe's early skyscrapers.

Your exploration will also take you to Rubens' house, where you will delve into the artist's connections to the city, followed by a nostalgic stroll through the Vlaeykensgang, a passage that has remained largely unchanged since the sixteenth century. By the end of this tour, you'll have a genuine feel for the diamond capital of the world!
