A Gem of Fashion
As the world’s largest diamond-cutting city, Antwerp (Anvers in French) is naturally affluent. It comes as no surprise then that fashion is also of utmost importance, so the shopping here is excellent. It may not be the cheapest place, but the quality certainly matches the price.
Another big business in Antwerp is the port, one of Europe’s largest. Take a cruise around to admire its scale. The Scheldt River leads from the port into the city, and on its banks are a handful of interesting museums and Het Steen, a medieval castle built to protect the city against Viking invasions.
A few streets back is the Grote Markt, a beautiful square flanked by the grand town hall and 16th-century guildhouses – a typically Belgian scene. Behind this is UNESCO World Heritage-listed Antwerp Cathedral, whose asymmetrical towers look down over Groenplaats, a tranquil square filled with pavement cafes. Belgian beer is legendary and the local brew is De Koninck, which packs quite a punch.
In the south of the city is the most unusual sight – Wilrijk’s huge Jain Temple, one of the largest outside India. A little further east is Antwerp Airport, efficiently connected by public transport to the Antwerp hotels, guesthouses and apartments that are available on Booking.com.

Antwerp was a surprise, so much to see and do, with restaurants and cafes everywhere. We loved the cathedral, the huge churches, the Rubens influence, including his house, the recently added MAS museum and its quarter, the range of food options and, in our case, the weather. We spent a lot of time in the Grote Markt area, loving the chips with mayonnaise and the waffles with warm cherries. And we managed to make some inroads into the huge range of Belgian beers!

Deze stad is zowel stoer (als wel meer havensteden) als arty en romantisch. Men waardeert het goede leven hier. Je struikelt over de cafés en restaurants. Winkelmogelijkheden komen op mij over als gevarieerder dan in de hoofdwinkelstraten van de grootste Nederlandse steden.

3 things why I like Antwerp:
3 things why I like Antwerp:
1. Shop til you drop can be seen quite literally here. Abundance of shops, you need a few days. ;)
2. Variety of restaurants lets you explore many cuisines. There’s an option for everyone.
3. Entertainment wise, the city has plenty to offer for theatre or concert fans.
4. Hidden gem: go to Zürenborg. It’s a bit far from the city center, but architecture lovers will rejoice!

Mas quarter is very nice, the architecture in the old town is beautiful, unfortunately weather did not permit staying outside a lot. The new MAS museum is a great (free) vantage point for overlooking the city, the paying exhibitions were not worthwhile though.
We will come back in summer

Firstly, I am really sorry to mention this but local people's behaviour was so rude and not respectful (taxi drivers, restaurant workers, even people whom we asked for address on the street etc.) Historical places, especially the main square worth to visit but I am suggesting travelers to check date of national holidays before going. We travelled for a concert but unfortunatelly most of the places were closed due to holiday.
“The owners managed to make a very cute and original guesthouse, around the music theme (with cds in the bedrooms!). As everything is new, it is very comfortable and clean, with very good beds. The breakfast is amazing and we had a lovely chat with the interesting owners. The area is cozy with many bars and restaurants and closely connected with the historic/touristic center of Antwerp by tram. My friend was very much charmed by the cats as well on the sunny terrace. All in all a great place to stay with great value for money. ”
“Literally across the street of the train station, save the trouble of trying to find your hotel after getting of the train with a big suitcase. Staffs are very helpful and friendly. Antwerp is small you can walk to everywhere ( I think) ”
“Check- in was superb (Manuela if I remember correctly did an excellent job - very impressed), room was great, pool was nice to come back to and relax, bar area was great to chill out and best of all, great location (caught the train to Antwerp so a 2 minute walk to the hotel and in close proximity to all public transport). Very happy with this booking.”
“Location: Right across the Antwerp station.
Staff: Very courteous and kind. The check in is at 2pm. But if you happen to arrive early, they will accommodate your luggage and I'd you need to freshen up there is a common restroom that is available for use. 24 hour reception.
Wifi: Good and consistent.
Room:Clean and spacious. Perfectly functional washroom.

“Decor of room and reception areas is stylish. Free coffee from machine in reception area. Chill music, art books and comfortable seats in large reception area. BBC 1 & 2 channels on TV. Near Dageraadplaats square with late bars eg Zeezicht. Walking distance from Antwerp Berchem station via Cogels Osylei, a street lined with interesting buildings.”
“I would rate Natalie at reception a perfect 10. She was an absolute gem. She was kind, friendly and most helpful. She was vibrant and welcoming. She made our stay most enjoyable. Thank you Natalie”
“This hotel had a great atmosphere, fantastic parking, great accommodations, friendly staff, excellent breakfast, and great value. The restaurant was also convenient with exceptional customer service.”
“The chek-in/-out was quick; the staffs were friendly; the room was clean and quiet; just 1 minute walk away from the nearest exit of train station (Antwerp-central).”
“Great location in an interesting neighborhood. Close enough to walk to the central train station, park nearby, and I walked through the park and was soon in the Groenplatt where all the main attractions, restaurants and...”
