Surprisingly different
Antwerp has a lot of surprising highlights, such as The Antwerp Zoo is one of Europe’s oldest and most attractive city zoos. And a beach: St Anneke, on the Left Bank. Not only the beach is pretty unique for a city inland, the city also boasts a deep sea port 80 km inland. As you can see, Antwerp does everything that little bit differently.
Enjoy the heights
In the Antwerp skyline, the Cathedral of Our Lady takes pride of place: it is the highest church spire in the Low Lands and is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Quite a feat for a building with just one finished spire. A little further up, MAS Museum aan de Stroom stands out: in this Museum at the River, the most beautiful work of art may well be the view. From the 60-metre high roof top, you can admire the whole city.
Culture and gastronomy revisited
Beside the MAS, Antwerp offers many other special museums. In addition to their top collections, they all have that something extra: the Middelheim Museum is a park full of sculptures, in The Rubens House, you walk through a famous artist’s house and Plantin-Moretus was the world’s first museum to feature on the World Heritage List.
And then there are the museum-grade buildings, where you can either
shop or eat – as you do – like in the Neoclassical (shopping) Stadsfeestzaal that accommodates a shopping centre, a former chapel which houses star restaurant, and the Palace in Meir (once Napoleon’s) where you lunch or catapult cocoa up your nose when you order a chocolate shooter.
Cradle of diamond and fashion
People from Antwerp set the trend. This is evident from the
many pop-ups and start-ups, and also in the fashion and diamond
districts, of course. You will find more diamonds in the Diamond Square Mile –
where international diamond hallmarks originate – than in the rest of
the world. And peppered all over the city are dazzling shop windows full
of attractive jewellery designs.
Antwerp sets the tone where fashion is concerned, too: couture is not just in the boutiques, but also on the streets, at the museum (MoMu) and
at the college. The fashion department of the Royal Academy is one of
the world’s most influential. Even today, great talents graduate from
there, invariably starting their labels in the city.
