More to book in Antwerp
Antwerp is the largest city of Flanders, a port on the River Scheldt that grew rich in the 16th century and is still known as the diamond capital. The old centre is small enough to cover on foot, and one walk links the Grote Markt, the medieval Het Steen fortress, the Boerentoren skyscraper and the lanes around Rubens's house.
The free tour is in English, lasts about two hours and starts at the Brabo statue on the Grote Markt, in groups of up to 6. Booking costs nothing and you tip the guide at the end, as much or as little as you feel it was worth.
Good to know before you go
- Be at the Brabo statue on the Grote Markt about 10 minutes early and look for the guide holding a large red umbrella.
- Wear comfortable shoes: you are on your feet for about two hours, and the weather in Flanders can change quickly, so a waterproof layer is a good idea.
- Groups of more than 6 cannot join the free tour, so larger parties need a private tour instead.
- Hotel pick-up is not included, so plan your own way to the Grote Markt in the old centre.
