The tour starts at Antwerp’s impressive train station, a temple of marble, considered one of the most beautiful in the world. We will dive into its narrow streets to reach the diamond quarter, which, although it goes unnoticed, will allow us to appreciate what are probably the most expensive shop windows in Europe. We will head towards the Antwerp Cathedral, the largest in Belgium, which has surprisingly withstood the devastation of the city in the Second World War. We will stroll down to Meir Street, to leave the past behind us for a moment and enter the atmosphere of shops of all kinds, art, fashion and chocolate, and gradually approach the Great Square (Grote Markt) where you will find the Town Hall, the magnificent sculpture of Silvio Brabo and the amazing guild houses of antiquity. Finally; we’ll end with the exciting story of the warrior who beheaded a Roman centaur in the river of Antwerp and you will freak out when you learn the origin of the city’s name.
