Overview

On the beautiful Grote Markt in front of City Hall, we meet. A brief overview will be your guideline. On top of the old town, we begin, yes, the old street level is 10 feet below us. And yes, you are welcome to visit this. We will show you the entrance on the way. Upon the banks of the river, we look for the last remnants of the first city. From here, we search for the first inhabitants and what they were up to. We follow the progress of the city's expansion. We pay close attention to the happenings of the sixteenth century, commonly referred to as our golden age. This city was the most prosperous city in Northern Europe. It all ended abruptly. What went wrong, and why did it happen? This walk will reveal it to you.

Itinerary

Grote Markt

On the beautiful Grote Markt in front of City Hall, we meet. We'll take you on a journey through the history of the city.

An early 16th-century butchers' guild house, now a museum with a collection of historic musical instruments

20 minutes
Carolus Borromeus Church

This church is the result of the Counter-Reformation during the 16th century. Built by the Jesuits and many works of art by Antwerp's greatest Baroque painter, but......

15 minutes
Handelsbeurs Antwerpen

The most important stock exchange of the 16th century and a later example, copied by the major trading cities of Northern Europe. If the door is open, don't hesitate and step inside, it's worth it.

20 minutes
Cathedral of Our Lady

This Gothic grandeur houses many stories and many works of art. You can visit it all day, but you have to pay. We view it from the outside, and I'll make you curious about this fact: there is a similarity to a famous cathedral in Barcelona. Do you spot it?

10 minutes
Museum Plantin-Moretus

This world heritage site is a must if you love art and history, and more specifically printing and publishing in the 16th and 17th centuries. I will take you to the garden, and then you can still decide if you want to buy a ticket. Please note, closed on Mondays.

Touring Antwerp City Center

Published on Aug, 2024

We were a group of three visiting Antwerp from California. I found Antwerp Anytime from a Google search. I contacted Flip by email and that interaction was very positive. We decided on the tour that would show us some of the more popular sites and a couple of pubs and finish off with dinner. We started at the Grote Mart (I hope I have that correct). We arrived 10 minutes early and our guide was waiting for us. He showed us the city center and City Hall. It was all very beautiful. Then we were off to see the fortress that is on the edge of the river. It was remodeled a few years ago I think, but I don't remember exactly when. It is very impressive. We then took a free shuttle boat to the other side of the river, Flip wanted to show us this underground walkway that connects back to the city center. It was a short walk to a building that contains some mechanical operation. You can hear the motors working. It turns out it's what I would have to imagine is the oldest escalator in Europe. More than 90 years old. The engineering for this equipment is truly amazing. The walk to the other side has to be about 3/4 of a mile with impressive tile work throughout. At the other end of the walkway is an equally impressive escalator going back to the surface. All the treads, handrails and motors are original from when this tunnel was opened originally in I believe 1933. Our next stop was a pub, a few more old buildings, another pub, and finally dinner. I would recommend the bucket of mussels. We really enjoyed our tour with Flip and would definitely book him for a future tour. Thanks again Flip!
