What to see in Antwerp?

One of the city's largest and oldest landmarks is Het Steen Castle, built between 1200 and 1225 on the site of an earlier 9th century fortress. Over the centuries it has served various functions: it has been a prison, a private residence, a warehouse or even a sawmill. The current castle is only part of the former fortification located on the now-defunct De Werf peninsula. While in the city, of course, you must see the market square with its beautiful town hall and fountain, St. Mary's Cathedral and historic guild houses.

While strolling around Antwerp, look around for murals related to Belgian cartoons. You can also visit the Rubens House, a museum dedicated not only to the life and work of this famous painter, but also displaying his personal objects. The museum is housed in rooms with original antique 17th-century furnishings.
