Antwerp

Antwerp, famous for its diamonds, is a magnificent city, a delightful mixture of old and new. This can be seen in its wealth of architecture such as the medieval castle, the Gothic cathedral and the renaissance city hall which dominate the old city. The newer part is around the port area, where you can stroll along the river on raised pedestrian walkways. The city has a rich artistic history and the Royal Museum of Fine Arts houses some 2500 works by mainly Dutch and Flemish Masters.
