This impressive 17th century Baroque church is famous as a Rubens masterpiece. The painter’s contribution to this monument is considerable: from numerous paintings to the interior and decorations on the facade. A visit to this monument is included in the tour during the opening hours.
Handelsbeurs Antwerpen

MoMu - Fashion Museum Antwerp
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included

Museum Plantin-Moretus

This museum is a real hidden gem and was the first museum to be listed as UNESCO World Heritage. It brings the centuries-old history of books and printing to life, which our guides will enthusiastically explain to you on the tour. A visit to the museum’s historical garden is usually included in this tour during opening hours, but due to corona measures it's temporarily closed.
Vlaeykensgang

The Vlaeykensgang is the best preserved medieval street of Antwerp and a little alley that is not easy to find on your own. Our guide will walk you through it and take you back in time to the Middle Ages. It is said to be the most photographed spot in the city.
Nello & Patrasche Statue
  • 5m
There are lot of statues on this tour, but this one is in our opinion the prettiest. Though most of the local people are not familiar with the storey of Nello and Patrasche, it is the reason for many - mostly Asian - tourists to visit Antwerp. Our guides are happy to share its storey with you.
Cathedral of Our Lady
  • 15m
We end the tour in front of the majestic Cathedral with some history and curious facts about its construction. To finish the tour, our guides will provide you with plenty of recommendations on things to do in Antwerp to help you plan the rest of your stay.
