 A grand new hotel |
Koningin Astridplein 7 Antwerp 2018 Belgium +32 3 203 1234 http://www.parkplaza.com/antwe... |
This is one of the largest hotels in Antwerp. The building was designed by Michael Graves and was finished in the late nineties. Its imposing style and dominant location on the Koningin Astridplein created a lot of controversy amongst the local residents. Now the hotel attracts lots of famous people and brings businessmen back into the center of Antwerp. Opposite the beautiful Central Station and the Eurostar terminal, the location of this hotel is ideal. There are 10 conference rooms. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A good location |
Koningin Astridplein 40 Antwerp 2018 Belgium |
This hotel is very well situated on the Astridplein, opposite the Centraal Station. On the first floor of the building they have a snooker room with more then 20 snooker tables. This is a basic hotel lacking the charm and warmth of the better hotels in Antwerp. However, if you are planning a night out on the town you can use this place to recuperate. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 The Cathedral of Our Lady |
Handschoenmarkt Antwerp 2000 Belgium +32 3 213 9951 http://www.dekathedraal.be/ |
The Cathedral's construction began in 1352, and ended in 1518, resulting in the largest Gothic church in the Netherlands. Learn its amazing history, from the 'iconoclastic fury' of 1566 that destroyed much of the interior, to the repairs that discovered beautiful murals beneath the whitewashed walls. The cathedral was furnished with renaissance, baroque, rococo and classical works of art, which were plundered by French revolutionaries, though many were returned. The exceptional stained-glass windows are 16th and 17th century. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 An impressive station |
Koningin Astridplein Antwerp 2000 Belgium |
People who arrive by train at the Central Station will marvel at this splendid and grand station in neo-baroque style. Visitors are shocked and surprised when they hear that about 10 years ago the city authorities wanted to demolish it. Luckily, they decided to restore the station which was commissioned by King Leopold II, built between 1898 and 1905 and designed by architect Delacenserie. The main entrance of the station is on the De Keyserlei/Meir, the most important shopping streets of Antwerp. The entrance to the Zoo is just around the corner. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The city's central park |
Rubenslei, Van Eycklei Quinten Matsijslei Antwerp 2000 Belgium |
In Antwerp there are several gardens and parks, which are a welcome oasis in the busy city, and one of the most important parks is the Stadspark or City Park. This triangular park is situated between Rubenslei, Van Eycklei and Quinten Matsijslei and in these elegant avenues, named after the famous artists, you'll find some of Antwerp's most exclusive hotels. The diamond center and shopping streets are nearby. This is a pleasant park for walks but always be on your guard in the evenings. Other interesting parks in Antwerp are the Kielpark in St-Bernardsesteenweg, the Koning Albertpark named after the late King Albert I in Mechelsesteenweg and the smaller but most charming Plantentuin or Botanical Garden in Leopoldstraat.

Antwerp's Grand Place |
Grote Markt Antwerp 2000 Belgium |
The Grote Markt (Grand Market Square) is a splendid sight right in the middle of the city. Dominated by the renaissance style Stadhuis (city hall), the square is lined with numerous guildhalls, high patrician houses with step gables and gold-plated ornaments and statuettes. The famous tavern Den Engel is located here. Admire the Brabo fountain, the late 19th century statue of the legendary Roman Silvius Brabo, who saved Antwerp from Druon the giant. Enjoy a Belgian beer, a Brussels waffle, or coffee at one of the cafés. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Antwerp Belgium |
The south of Antwerp houses its main attraction, the Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten (Royal Museum of Fine Arts). This temple for the arts houses a large collection of paintings by some of Antwerp's most prized painters -- Rubens, Van Dijck and Jordaens. However, if this gallery isn't exactly your cup of tea, there are plenty more to explore in this neighbourhood. Try the Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst Antwerpen (Museum of Contemporary Art) or the personal gallery of Hans Beers at Kunstgalerij Isabella Brant. Although high housing costs used to scare away the younger crowd from this area, a price drop in the 1980s brought a more "youthful" crowd to the area. Now you'll find many fine brasseries and bistros that serve great food at reasonable prices, priding themselves on the diversity and quality of the food. Review © 2007, Wcities |
