Visiting Antwerp for The First Time, Antwerp, Belgium
I wrote this guide to visiting Antwerp for the first time after visiting Antwerp for the second timeÂ
My first visit to Antwerp was on a day trip from Brussels. That was a few years ago, and I realised that one day in Antwerp wasn’t quite enough.
You can definitely see quite a few things in one day, but there’s a lot more to do and see in Antwerp.
So when I had a chance, I booked a longer trip to Antwerp. On my second visit, I stayed for four weeks (I love slow travel).
I got to see a lot of what Antwerp has to offer, while also using it as a base for day trips around Belgium.
In this Antwerp travel guide, I cover general things to do in Antwerp, Antwerp tourist attractions, day trips from Antwerp, and some useful Antwerp travel tips.
For me, Antwerp is just the right size – not too big and not too small. Plenty to do and see, but never overwhelming
As it’s not too big, you can get around on foot or on a bike. It’s flat, very walkable and has cycling lanes everywhere. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
