Antwerp

Antwerp is a city that loves to do things in a big way. Sitting on the River Scheldt in northern Belgium, it has been one of Europe’s most important trading cities for centuries, and today its massive port keeps goods flowing to and from countries all over the world. The diamond trade has called Antwerp home for more than five hundred years, and the city still handles a staggering share of the world’s rough diamonds each year.

Walk through the streets and you will find a gorgeous Gothic cathedral that took nearly two hundred years to build, a lively main square with a fountain tied to a legend about a fierce giant, and the former home of brilliant painter Peter Paul Rubens, where his enormous canvases still hang on the walls. But Antwerp is not just about history. It has a buzzing, creative energy, with cool museums, excellent food, and one of the world’s oldest zoos sitting right beside its grand central station. It is a city where the past and present mix together brilliantly, making every corner feel like a new discovery.
