Top 10 Nature & Parks in Antwerp, Flanders
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.

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.

As an employee at a zoo, I have had many different experiences traveling around the world seeing different zoos and learning about how they operate. Without a doubt, the Antwerp Zoo is one of the most beautiful and well-done zoos I have been to. The mix of historic enclosures with modern zoo-keeping techniques is wonderful and the circular sense of the visit makes it quite the unique zoo (especially with its location right next to the central train station). I would recommend this zoo for all ages. Kids and adults alike will love the diverse animals and the gorgeous gardens on the property. Don't miss the koalas!!

On a rainy morning it was an excellent idea to visit the Plantentuin. Cosy, and intimate. Very peaceful in centre of tuin. Lots of interesting plants and shrubs. Some trees and water features. Compact but worth the visit. In a hidden corner tucked away there is a restful cafeteria for refreshments and local beers.
