Short trip to the Belgium city of Antwerp

Antwerp is a port city in the Flanders region of Belgium and the capital of the province of Antwerp.
Antwerp is of great international importance due to its seaport, as well as being the world's most important center for the processing and trade of diamonds.

Antwerp was one of the largest cities in the world in the 15th and 16th centuries, at times the most important trading metropolis in Europe.

The city is one of the few major central European cities with a largely preserved historic city center. Because of the many remaining architectural and artistic monuments from the city's heyday, Antwerp is considered a major city well worth seeing and is an important destination for city tourism.

You should give yourself a few days to really see everything.
