After your driver and your guide will pick you up at the lobby of your hotel, enjoy a personalized private tour in Antwerp from Bruges/ zeebruges.
Antwerp, Belgium’s second largest city, boasts one of the largest harbours in the world. The railway station is a stunning building. It is said to be the most beautiful railway station in the world. Our Lady Cathedral is the largest gothic church in the Low Countries and it countless invaluable paintings by world class artists of the 17th century. The absolute masterpieces, however, are the Rubens paintings. Our guided walk through the old city starts at the impressive 13th century castle that guarded the city and its port. We will take you to the gothic guild houses at the Market Square. The river Scheldt is the cradle of Antwerp where the city built the MAS-museum, famous for its spectacular views of the harbour and the old city. In your free time, do try the local beer called a ’ Bolleke’.

Diving into the world of Rubens was a delight as I marveled at his masterpieces, particularly the stunning depiction of the “Descent from the Cross,” which truly took my breath away; however, I wished the pace had allowed for a bit more time at each iconic sight rather than rushing through them.

We had a wonderful time exploring Rubens’ masterpieces during our private tour, especially the engaging storytelling at the Cathedral of Our Lady. While the pace was mostly great for our family, a few spots felt a bit rushed, leaving us wanting to linger longer at some of the iconic sights.
