Market Square
Located in the old city quarter, the Grote Markt, also referred to as the Great Market, is the perfect place to grab a coffee and people-watch. The triangular square will transport you back to the medieval era with the architecture of the facades from the iconic landmarks such as Guild Houses, Church of Our Lady, City Hall, and home of the Brabo Fountain – an impressive sight for everyone visiting. Here you will also find the tourism office, which offers tour guides to give an enriched history lesson about the area. You can also find many restaurants and cafes, so you can sit outdoors and immerse yourself in the city’s culture. At Christmas Time, the square becomes extra festive with street vendors and stalls, and the buildings are decorated with flowers and lights, a truly breathtaking sight.
Antwerp Botanical Garden
Also named De Botaniek, the Botanic Garden of Antwerp dates back as far as 1825. The garden is located in the city centre with an area of less than one hectare. Here you will witness a whole array of colours and smells as the garden has a collection of 2000 cacti and exotic plants. Take a relaxing walk here, or sit and read a book as you enjoy the peace and quiet, the garden is open daily with free admission. However, the conservator is closed on Sundays.
