10 Things to do Good for Kids in Antwerp That You Shouldn't Miss

August 15, 2021 Velvet Champine

Lively Antwerp is a hidden gem. Its medieval streets, Renaissance monuments and vibrant nightlife tend to be overshadowed by its reputation as center of the diamond trade and as the world's fifth-largest port. Biking is a popular choice for getting around this stylish Flemish city. See thousands of Old Masters at the Royal Museum and Rubens House. Experience the bustle of life at the Grote Markt. Marvel at the art and architecture of the still unfinished Cathedral of Our Lady, started in 1351.

Antwerpen-Centraal

Leopold II had this unusual rail station built as a neo-Baroque monument to the railway age in 1905.

Reviewed By HenkSpring - Antwerp, Belgium

Although an operating railway station the out and inside are worth a visit for its monumental grandeur. A late 19th. century with beautiful facade and a majestic interior. Look at the marble floors in the main hall, all made out of Belgian marble. Look up inside to the dome. A must do is have a coffee in the cafetaria (or foyer), when you walk in from the front go up the stairs and take a right. Beautifull interior, like a time capsule. The level ground platforms have an impressive glasshouselike ceiling. In the late 20th. century extensive works were carried out such as a tunnel underneath and a shopping centre in excavated levels without disturbing the main historical structure.

Vlaeykensgang

Reviewed By inhale-exhale321 - Switzerland, null

Take this little shortcut if you get the chance - and find the entrance. Once you enter the passage, all the city business and noise disappears. In summer you will find it a lovely cool spot and beautifully decorated with flowers and pot plants. Maybe come for lunch or dinner at the small hidden restaurant that serves local specialities.

A short distance from the center of Antwerp what was a private estate until the late 1930's has since been a beautiful park. the original castle now a public restaurant and the open air sculpture museum. The latter's collection will fascinate anyone, it is stunning. The gardens in which the pieces are set makes a perfect joyful background. Don't miss this one.
