Itinerary

Grote Markt

Grote Markt square is the heart of Antwerp. It is filled with gorgeous medieval guild houses, the City Hall and the Brabo Fountain in the middle. It also hides some interesting legends which our guide will share with you.

10 minutes
Cathedral of Our Lady

You will find out the history behind the Cathedral and its belfry tower — truly iconic treasures of Antwerp's skyline.

10 minutes
DIVA

Antwerp has been known as the world’s Diamond Capital since the city's Golden Age. This brilliant museum is the right place to tell you the bright and the dark side of the gems trade.

10 minutes
Het Steen

The Steen Castle is the oldest building in Antwerp and has fulfilled several functions over the centuries, for example that of a prison. Our guide will share some interesting insides of the medieval prison life.

10 minutes
Museum Vleeshuis

As the former Butcher's Hall and oldest guild house in the city, Museum Vleeshuis now tells a different story of sound, music and dance.

10 minutes
Saint Paul's Church

The St. Paul’s Church is truly unique place. It is the only church in the world which keeps within its walls the masterpieces of the 3 most renowned Antwerp masters: Rubens, Van Dyck and Jordaens.

10 minutes
Antwerp's Red Light District

Despite its function, the Red Light District is a safe area to walk around at night, though there are still some “spicy” secrets to share. On the guest’s request, this part of the tour can be skipped.

Built as a port storage, the Felix Pakhuis now houses the municipal archive. We will walk you through its distinctive interior ‘street’, which was constructed as a firebreak within the building.

Beren in Antwerp!

Published on May, 2025

Tour guide Beren: The Dark Tour of Antwerp was an unforgettable experience that revealed the city’s hidden and haunting past in a truly captivating way. Our guide was incredibly professional, blending storytelling with historical facts that kept everyone engaged. What made it truly memorable was the eerie atmosphere of walking through dim alleys while learning about centuries-old crimes and legends. The tour was well-paced, accessible, and suitable for both families with older children and curious travelers. It offered a fresh perspective on the city, far from the usual tourist spots. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a unique and thrilling cultural experience. Bravo Beren!!!
