Dear Friend of Flanders,

In view of the COVID-19-situation, specific safety measures are currently in place across Belgium. You will find more detailed information on following website. For the latest travel advice to our country, please consult your local authorities.

If you are travelling to Flanders, Brussels or elsewhere in Belgium for a duration of 48 hours or more, you will need to complete a Passenger Locator Form, within the 48 hours before your arrival in Belgium. 

Wearing of a mask is compulsory for anyone over the age of 12 in confined public spaces, including shops, museums, theatres, on public transport and in streets and other public areas in some cities. It is therefore recommended to carry a mask with you at all times. People are expected to keep a social distance of 1.5m (5ft).

Monumental churches

Outside vieuw on the front of the Cathedral of our Lady in Antwerp
Antwerp has five monumental churches where Baroque and the Rubens’ living environment come to life ‘in situ’. The majestic Cathedral of Our Lady, St. Paul’s Church, St. Andrew’s, Carolus Borromeus Church and the recently restored St. James’ Church. In 2018 this permanent display is being brought even closer to the visitor: Rubens’ masterpieces in the cathedral, the Baroque master at work as an architect in Carolus Borromeus, his burial chapel in St. James’ Church. Nowhere else can you get so close to this rich past. But there’s more, "Antwerp Baroque 2018" is building bridges with the present by way of contemporary interventions, from visual art to dance and music which always found inspiration in Rubens’ work. From 1 June to 31 December 2018: Art Intervention - Cathedral of our Lady; Rubens' Funeral Chapel - St. James' Church; A Baroque Jewel in a Gothic Shrine - St. Paul Church; Baroque Chasuble Fashion - St. Andries Church; Music & Dance in Rubens' Architecture - Charles Borromeus Church. Opening 5 August 2018: New Altarpiecesby Jan Fabre - St. Augustine Church.
