Thomas Cook City Spot Guide Antwerp
Ref: TCCS002
"Cityspots Antwerp" takes you straight to the heart of the proud capital of the Flemish half of Belgium, a serious challenger for the title of Europe's coolest city. Antwerp is a city where the high art of Rubens blends seamlessly with chic shopping streets and sophisticated nightlife. It's a must-visit for any self respecting city breaker.
Antwerp highlights include: Grote Markt, Antwerp's historic square dominated by Onze Lieve Vrouwe Cathedral; hundreds of eclectic nightspots and 'brown cafes'; Rubenshuis, the home and studio of Pieter Paul Rubens and the artist's paintings which grace many churches around the city; cruising down the River Scheldt; indulging in Belgian chocolate and waffles; walking along the 'Golden Mile' catching the sights and shopping; marvelling at Het Steen castle; chilling out in Rivierenhof Park; and, partying into the small hours in the happening district of Het Zuid. About the market: Antwerp is home to over 70 per cent of the world's trade in diamonds. The city is only a short hop from the historic towns of Bruges, Gent and Brussels and the Dutch border.
