Antwerp, known as ‘the daughter of the River Scheldt’, is the second largest city of Belgium. Antwerp is a bustling centre of commerce, trade, and the arts. A fascinating stay awaits you in this pulsating centre of culture and trade. Antwerp is Rubens, Van Dyck, Jordaens, Bruegel, Plantijn, but also a thousand years of architecture, five centuries of music and artistic and decorative crafts.
Antwerp is a pedestrian-friendly city. Some 20% of the historic city centre is traffic-free and during the many summer festivities pedestrians are given absolute priority. So put on your walking shoes and enjoy this metropolis of human proportions! On the Grote Markt, or Main Square, Brabo welcomes you into the atmosphere of a world city from the 16th and 17th centuries.
