What to visit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Art, Architecture, an impressive harbor, enough to visit in Antwerp. In this blog the emphasis is on a walk through the center to do some interior shopping in Antwerp, but we start with a few of my favorite other locations: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Central Station<\/strong>; If you arrive by train, the first introduction to Antwerp is the central station. Built between 1899 and 1905. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The building consists of a steel platform roof and a large station building carved out of natural stone. It is an eclectic style, a combination of medieval and baroque elements.  <\/p>\n<\/div>

\u201cGrote Markt,\u201d<\/strong> on this square in the old town, you will find the City Hall in Renaissance style, guild houses and the fountain with the statue of Silvius Brabo on it. And it is as if the \u201cOnze lieve Vrouwen\u201d Cathedral oversees the square. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGroenplaats\u201d <\/strong>here you can find the Cathedral of our Lady and the Rubens House with the collection of Peter Paul Rubens. The museum is temporarily closed for renovation but reopens this (2024) summer. Do not forget to take a walk in the garden with so many beautiful plants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The river Schelde<\/strong>, last week, when I walked there, was windy and cold but especially with better weather it is nice to walk along the river. <\/p>\n<\/div>

We all know (at least I presume we know\ud83e\udd14) that there are some exceptional Belgium designers like Maarten van Severen, Axel Vervoordt, Vincent Duysen, Hans Verstuyft, and Nathalie de Boel with interesting interior design for a worldwide customer base. So, if you are interested, start with an inspiring walk through Antwerp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
