Thanks for the lovely visit! My mom and I only get two hours in Antwerp today on our river cruise so this was so helpful to build our itinerary. So excited to check it out!
Hope you had a good time! 2 hours is short but I think the cruise ships dock at a convenient location!
Thank you for this video. Wonderful.
Thanks! 🤩

Hi, small things i'd like to adjust:
The origin of the name of our city has nothing to do with the myth of Antigoon & Brabo.
Actually our name originates from the Germanic Anda Uerpa, which means "grounds raised in a bend of the river"
They call Antwerp the fashion district of Belgium due to our big five world renowned fashion designers.
And at last, a fun detail: Antwerp has many different names
The Diamond Capital
The Coke Capital of Europe
And the afformentioned Fashion District
Cheers!
This was so helpful. Thank you!!
Very well done video. Thank you!
Thanks for watching! ☺️

Thanks! 😊
Very informative.
Thanks!
Very Good Travelling video
Thanks! 🤩
such a beautiful video! im planning to stay a month in june/2024!
any ideias of how much of a tip is considered alright in the free walking guides? just wondering
It depends on the group size, quality of the tour (and guide) as well as the living standards for the country. We'd say a minimum of 10€ per person in Belgium is okay. If it's a really small group, maybe consider giving 20€.
Great video! I'll visit the city on october. Do you have any tips about where to eat good chocolate, waffle and drink beer? Thanks
The best waffles you can find on the streets or in the train station (try the "Luikse Waffle"). Australian has some to go (how we usually eat it - it's more of a snack). If you want a sit down place, try 't Bieke or De zoete Verleiding. For chocolate, we like the Leonidas pralines (boxes come in different sizes), and beers you can find all around the city! 't Zuid is more of a local place to go for drinks, but also the center has tons of cafés to drink a beer!
Good video
Thanks! 🤩

hello
In reality, the name Antwerp comes from the 'aanwerp', a silted up rise in the Scheldt at the Steen, where the first settlement arose.
The Brabo story sounds more legendary, but is in fact a myth and not the real origin of its name. The hand became a symbol of the city nonetheless :-)
Ik hou van mijn stad
Wij ook! ☺️

I was living in Belgium Antwerpen but as soon I no the zoo hard black people in it so I live Belgium
WHAT...?
Best thing to do in Antwerp is keep on driving through and go to Amsterdam😂
Haha depends on what you like from a city. We often visit Antwerp when we're back in Belgium
This must be a text of a Dutch citizen. Remember, most flemish cities are older than the Dutch ones
Literally every street in Amsterdam looks the same. Flemish/Belgian cities are more diverse and the architecture is more 'grand'. Also: much better food. Cheers! :)
I agree with but about Brussels.
I really regret leaving Amsterdam to go to Brussels 😂
Visiting Rijks museum alone is better than entire Brussels and Bruges 😂
I love Antwerp and I hate Amsterdam!
Hi than’ you for visiting our city. It is so fucked up because of our politicians but it once wa historically significant. Thank you and always welcome back!
Thanks! ugh politics are fucked up everywhere 😥
