Antwerp is a port town on River Scheldt in Belgium, with roots going back to the Middle Ages. The core of the centuries-old Diamond District is home to thousands of diamond dealers, cutters, and polishers.
Antwerp is recognized as the world's diamond capital, and the diamond industry plays a major role in the city's economy and has done so throughout its history. The city was one of the most important locations and one of the most important ports in Europe throughout the 16th century.
Antwerp is the second city Belgium has to sell, the biggest port and cool capital. From luxury moguls and club queens to art collectors and diamond dealers, this has long been a strong magnet for everyone.
It was one of the most important cities in Europe in the mid-16th century and home to the baroque icon painter Pieter Paul Rubens - as many a museum can remind you daily. Antwerp maintains an enticing medieval heart with plenty of café-filled cobbled streets, a riverside castle and a genuinely remarkable cathedral, despite many historical works later, and serious WWII bombardments.
Antwerp's main drawcards, along with its striking architectural and cultural similarities, are its lively fashion and entertainment scene. The Antwerp Grote Markt is a town square located in the heart of the old quarter of the town. It is packed with an impressive city hall, several elaborate guildhalls from the 16th century, and several restaurants and cafes.
Antwerp's distinctive flavor stems from the synthesis of the different facets of its identity and the contradictions between them: a deep devotion to trade goes hand in hand with a relentless curiosity in the life of ideas and the arts; reverence and love for the past are juxtaposed with a fervent urge to engage completely in the present and the future.
The Antwerp zoo is located in the center of the town. It is a magnificent zoo built in the year 1843. It is considered one of the finest zoos in Europe due to its variety of habitats, care given to the animals and their success in breeding. It's also really architectural vessels.
A vibrant social activity is carried out on the streets and in the numerous cafés in its center. The Schelde is the true heart and soul of Antwerp, the raison d'être not only of Antwerp's vibrant economic life but also of its sense of identity and of the deep affection that Antwerpians continue to feel for their city - touchingly expressed in many literary works.
The economic life of Antwerp has long been closely related to its status as a seaport, and as such, it is inseparable from the favorable geographical position of the city and from the facilities and functions of the port.
Antwerp is a relatively safe city, but the area around some neighborhoods such as De Coninckplein, Borgerhout, Seefhoek and the Schipperskwartier is considered dangerous and best avoided at night. But during the day they can be visited to enjoy the vibrant setting.
Antwerp is one of Belgium's most popular towns due to its world-class restaurants, attractions and nightlife. The town has a very young population that gives it slightly more energy than another European town. There are many bars and nightclubs across town including the historic district.
