Peter

Antwerp is a city made up of very distinct and different areas. Most felt safe. The roads in Antwerp are undergoing major construction, and have been for several years. Traffic congestion is a major headache and slows down travel between attractions

5/5 - Excellent

HW

The city centre has a pleasing and distinctive character with narrow streets and buildings in many different styles. We recommend the Red Star Line museum of emigration to America, as well as the better-known museums.

5/5 - Excellent

The people of Antwerp are incredibly friendly and helpful. There is a good selection of quality places to eat and to enjoy a glass of the local Antwerp beer.
