Antwerp (Dutch: Antwerpen) is the second largest city in Belgium (after Brussels). Antwerp was a financial and trade center in the 16th century and has some beautiful historical buildings. We start this evening walk at the Grote Markt - Antwerp's Market Square with the Brabo Fountain and the Town Hall. There in the centre the Flemish Renaissance architecture can be seen in many places. We walk around in the Old Town with the gothic "Cathedral of Our Lady" (Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal). Later we check out the Groenplaats before we walk towards the railway station were we end this walk.Filmed in June 2019.

The Antwerp Central Station, also known as Middenstatie (Middle station) or Spoorwegkathedraal (Railroad Cathedral), was first used in 1905. The structure is made up from a steel platform covering and a stone station building in an eclectic style. Recently, the station was completely renovated and in 2007 a tunnel underneath the station and a part of Antwerp was opened, reverting the station’s status as a terminus where are all trains have to turn back. In 2009, the American magazine Newsweek chose the Antwerp Central Station as the fourth most beautiful train station in the world. Date recorded: November 2018 Weather: ☀️ 20 | 68F
