Antwerp is the capital of cool and grandeur. This port city has been seducing anyone with a taste for style for centuries. This was already applicable during the time of Baroque innovator Peter Paul Rubens, and it has not lost an iota of its glamour since.

Antwerp, Stylish to a Fault

Business travellers, artists, fashionistas and diamond merchants; all can still be found here. Antwerp combines the grandeur of yesteryear with an urban vibrancy. Its Grote Markt and cathedral, Scheldt riverbanks and cobbled streets go hand in hand with a thriving nightlife, galleries and art palaces. It is home to the Rubens House, Plantin-Moretus Museum, Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp (KMSKA), the Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp (M HKA) and much more… The options in Antwerp are endless, as long as they have that gleam.

Points of interest

Museum Plantin-Moretus will reopen on Saturday 5 December

Museum Plantin-Moretus will reopen on Saturday 5 December.
