What you can expect

Get the most out of your visit to Antwerp with a private guided walking tour through the historical heart of the city to explore all of Antwerp's highlights while learning about history, legends, and countless fun facts.

On this tour, you'll admire historic churches, characteristic squares, popular museums, and medieval architecture on a route that includes all the must-visit spots. You'll explore Grote Markt first, where you can marvel at the medieval guild houses, city hall, and Brabo Fountain. From there, you'll head to Hendrik Conscience Statue, named after the Flemish writer Hendrik Conscience. This site hosts an impressive Baroque church and the old city library.

Next you'll visit the world-famous Carolus Borromeus Church with its 17th-century Baroque details before stopping at Handelsbeurs Antwerpen (the Bourse of Antwerp), the world's first Wall Street. Here, you’ll find out how the city came to be an important international trading centre in the 16th century.

Rubens House is next on the itinerary: the former home and workshop of the famous Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens. Learn more about his life storey and some secrets behind the artist’s success. At MoMu, one of the world’s leading fashion museums, you'll get some inspiration for your next fashion shopping trip before heading to the Museum Plantin-Moretus, the first museum to be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We also walk through Vlaeykensgang, a secret medieval alley that’s not easy to find on your own, to see you the best-preserved remnants of the Middle Ages in Antwerp. This spot is said to be the most photographed place in the city. Make sure to keep your camera ready as you arrive at the Nello & Patrasche Statue, another popular attraction in the city. You'll finish the tour in front of the Cathedral of Our Lady, where you’ll learn the history and curious facts behind its construction.

History and funny stories, legends and interesting facts, highlights and hidden gems — this tour has everything to make your experience of Antwerp authentic and unforgettable!
