travel42 Port Guide: Antwerp

travel42 Professional Cruise Port of Call Review

Located 34 mi/55 km north of Brussels, Antwerp, Belgium, is a joy to visit. It is the world's diamond capital and home of Flemish Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens.

The wide squares and the narrow cobbled streets of the old town are perfect for strolling—they're lined with shops and cafes, which make the walk even more pleasant—and there's a thriving nightlife.
