What to do and see in Antwerp, Flanders: The Best Things to do Good for Couples
Lively Antwerp is a hidden gem. Its medieval streets, Renaissance monuments and vibrant nightlife tend to be overshadowed by its reputation as center of the diamond trade and as the world's fifth-largest port. Biking is a popular choice for getting around this stylish Flemish city. See thousands of Old Masters at the Royal Museum and Rubens House. Experience the bustle of life at the Grote Markt. Marvel at the art and architecture of the still unfinished Cathedral of Our Lady, started in 1351.

I recently bought a Diamond Solitaire Ring for my wife (20 years happy marriage!!!) from this amazing store and I had the opportunity to meet a wonderful couple Katy and Ben! Very friendly, extremely professional and they can help you to make the best choice. They don’t want to simply sell a diamond but they try to really satisfy your needs. I highly recommend this place for the amazing service and the high quality of the jewellery. Thanks guys for your help. My experience was excellent!!!

Leopold II had this unusual rail station built as a neo-Baroque monument to the railway age in 1905.
Reviewed By HenkSpring - Antwerp, Belgium
Although an operating railway station the out and inside are worth a visit for its monumental grandeur. A late 19th. century with beautiful facade and a majestic interior. Look at the marble floors in the main hall, all made out of Belgian marble. Look up inside to the dome. A must do is have a coffee in the cafetaria (or foyer), when you walk in from the front go up the stairs and take a right. Beautifull interior, like a time capsule. The level ground platforms have an impressive glasshouselike ceiling. In the late 20th. century extensive works were carried out such as a tunnel underneath and a shopping centre in excavated levels without disturbing the main historical structure.

Walk into the printing press and the Plantin-Moretus family home as though you were a family friend paying a visit 400 years ago. Explore the house, the garden and the press in the only museum in the world on the UNESCO World Heritage list. - the two oldest printing presses in the world and more than 20.000 lead letters - 30.000 old books, illustrated manuscripts and other treasures of European printing - a beautiful baroque garden hidden within the walls of the museum

Having to choose either Rubenshuis or the Plantin-Moretus museum due to the limited time I had during my stay, I decided on the latter and loved it. The rooms of this printing house are incredible and the collection of printing tools, printed books and manuscripts is really interesting. You can either take an audio guide (2€) or borrow copies of museum guides provided in the first room (free) to navigate through the exhibit (I took both). The staff was extremely friendly and helpful too. The museum does a great job in showing the many aspects of the Plantin-Moretus business and there is so much to learn about the printing process in general. Unfortunately, the museum shop was closed for inventory when I was there, so I am already looking forward to my next visit.
9. Rubens House (Rubenshuis)

Amazing to be able to walk around Reuben's house - it is opulent and has a huge garden. Reuben's life as an artist is intrinsic to the building so is interesting from this perspective, as well as the art on display. If you are just interested in seeing a beautiful town house from the 17th Century, it is worth a visit for this.
10. Town Hall (Stadhuis)
