Carolus Borromeus Church

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.

The Bourse of Antwerp is the world's first Wall Street. Here you will find out more about the Golden Age of Antwerp and how the city came to be an important international trading centre in the 16th century. A visit to this magnificent monument is included in this tour during the opening hours.
Rubens House (Rubenshuis)

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

Museum Plantin-Moretus

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.

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.
