Along the way, you'll encounter iconic landmarks such as the legendary Brabo's Monument, the tranquil St. Paul’s Church, and the imposing Antwerp Central Station. Each stop represents a chapter in Antwerp's story, told through magnificent architecture and echoes of history.
The tour concludes in the Diamond District, where you can admire the glittery facades that symbolise tradition and opulence. Highlights of the tour include the medieval tranquillity of Vlaeykensgang, the maritime heritage of Het Steen, and the Neoclassical grandeur of Bourla Theatre. While admission to Museum De Reede is included in your ticket, please note that there is no audio tour inside the museum itself. Instead, let the rest of the city be your canvas, painting your journey with sights, sounds, and stories brought to life by your in-app guide.
