Belfry and Cloth Hall (Belfort en Lakenhalle)

This municipal tower was a symbol of the city's autonomy, begun in 1313 and completed in 1380.

Reviewed By noahzieglerhazen - Birmingham, United Kingdom

The belfry was a Medieval masterpiece. It was interesting to climb the spiral staircase up to the top lookout where the bells rang. We stayed to watch the clock work ring the various bells every 15 minutes. Definitely recommend staying st the top until you see the show.

Fort Liefkenshoek

Reviewed By Jan-Verhavert - Melsele, Belgium

This fortress has been renovated, and is free to visit. Surprising spot, in the middle of the industrial harbour, that goes back at least 500 years into time. The 'Cat' is made into an interactive museum, where you can see the turbulent history of this fortress, in the battle for Antwerp, beginning in the 16th century, when Belgium and Holland were part of the Spanish Netherlands. Absolutely recommended the detour. Also an very nice and cosy cafetaria, where you can drink special Belgian beers, or have a nice hot soup, freshly made. Also good for lunch or diner, though the choice is limited. All al reasonable prices.

Iedereen Rubens

You will learn everything there is to know about this special piece of art in the attic of St Martin’s Church. After climbing the ancient staircase, life-size projections showcase the story of the painting, the master and his clients who commissioned the painting. Afterwards it’s your turn to create a digital masterpiece under Rubens’ watch.
