THE PETRIFIED GLORY

Get to know Antwerp in the 16th century, when the city experienced its Golden Age.

Thanks to its port, Antwerp was one of the largest and richest cities in Europe, and was known as the centre of trade and art.

Today, numerous beautiful buildings still remind us of this glorious past. Many of them immediately catch the eye, such as the unsurpassed cathedral, the monumental city hall and the magnificent guild houses.

Your guide will also take you to the hidden places in Antwerp, which an unsuspecting visitor would simply walk past.

During this classic tour you will walk straight into the amazing heyday of the city on the Scheldt.
