About Antwerp
The De Keyserlei is a pretty tree lined boulevard where you’ll find open-air restaurants, famous for their mussel dishes and Belgian beers. Many of which are produced by local microbreweries specialising in seasonal beers. If you have adventurous tastes, you could even try their strawberry or chocolate flavoured beers.
You’ll find the diamond and gold dealers in the Diamond District at the end of the De Keyserlei, nearest to the Central Station. In this area alone they handle almost 80% of the world’s rough diamonds. Visit Diamondland to see the diamond polishers, setters and goldsmiths at work.
As stunning as its diamonds, Antwerp’s diverse architecture includes everything from Medieval to Art Nouveau making a walk around the city a real pleasure. Other attractions include Rubenshuis – the former home of the great artist Ruben, then there’s Steen Castle, Antwerp Zoo and the stunning Our Lady's Cathedral. Don’t forget the famous chocolate shops either.
