Summary
A gem in the Flanders region of Belgium, famed for its medieval streets and Renaissance monuments, Antwerp is home to thousands of paintings by the Old Masters housed in some of the most famous museums in the world. Our tour explores some of the wonderful architecture to be found in the city, including the Cathedral of Our Lady which is yet still unfinished although construction began in 1351, and the impressive Centraal Station which has been voted the most beautiful in the world on several occasions. We are joined by expert local guides as they take us through the notable art collections of some of Antwerp’s best museums, including the KMSKA – Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Snijders & Rockox Huis and the Plantin-Moretus Museum.
