Antwerp may be Belgium?s second city, but it is most definitely Brussel?s cool younger sister. Antwerp still boasts charming architecture and cobbled streets so synonymous with old European cities, but it also a hub of fashion, late-night dancing, art, and of course diamonds. Antwerp?s hey-day was in the mid-16th century when it was home to renowned painter Pieter Paul Rubens, an influence you will find all across the city. We love this city of two faces with its medieval core and café-filled cobbled lanes mixing with a vibrant and modern fashion and entertainment scene. Find out where to stay in this city of contrasts.
