Tour description

This tour is not just a sightseeing tour, but a true immersion in the history of Antwerp, a fascinating city that has witnessed great moments and unforgettable personalities. This tour is designed for curious travelers who not only want to see the city, but also to understand it in depth, from its most ancient roots to its vibrant present-day life.
With me, you won't just tour monuments, but you'll travel back in time to learn about the city's origins and evolution, the lives of its inhabitants, its traditions and challenges, as well as the influence of great artists and architects who left their mark.
Throughout the tour, we will explore Antwerp's most iconic sites and themes together.
We'll begin with a view of the Scheldt, where I'll tell you about the history of the port of Antwerp and its important role in the city's development. We'll continue our walk to one of the most important guild halls, followed by the Church of St. Charles Borromeo, and then visit the guild halls on the Grote Markt. After this, we'll learn about the history of the cathedral and the hidden skeleton of the city. You'll also learn about the stories held in the buildings on Meir Street, and finally, after delving into the history of Rubens and his house, we'll end in front of the Bourla Theatre.
Join me on this 1h 45min-2h tour and learn about the impressive history of Antwerp.
