Start at the Scheldt River to gaze at the fairy-tale looking Het Steen Castle, majestically located on the romantic riverside. The oldest building in the historical city is what is left of the medieval fortification walls that defended Antwerp against the Vikings.
Next, head to the city center, characterized by Italian-Flemish architecture and stunning sculptural works. One of the finest examples is Grote Markt (Great Market Square). The favorite meeting point in the city is ringed by photogenic old buildings, most notably the Town Hall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Of particular interest, the guildhall overlooks the spectacular centrepiece fountain depicting Brabo, the mythical hero of Antwerp, fighting a giant in beautiful detail.
Continue to check out the elegant and luxurious facade of the Vlaamse Opera, one of the most impressive grand buildings in the city. The Neo-Baroque opera house, built in [ ], was a symbol of the Flemish movement.
The last step of the tour is the 17th-century Central Train Station. The majesty and grandeur of the construction with its domes, arches, and sculptures make it a true railroad cathedral! A visit inside to marvel at marble floors, stained glass windows, and ornate decorations can transport visitors back to the golden age of rail travel.
