Want to soak up some culture while bagging some great deals? In Antwerp you can. The historic city centre not only boasts stunning cultural heritage, but also a superb range of shops. Traffic-free Hoogstraat is home to numerous specialist shops that are also open on Sundays. This area is centrally located and can always rely on a large number of visitors.
In the cosy, winding, pedestrianised streets of the historic centre, mood seekers encounter many nice shops. The Wolstraat with its shop windows filled with old books and remarkable art objects and the Lange Koepoortstraat with its original offer of fun, unusual items, fashion and accessories, vibrant bars and restaurants also charm passers-by. Need some rest? In the shadow of the Cathedral, tourists like to perch on the sunny terraces of the Grote Markt and the Groenplaats for a refreshing drink or enjoy an authentic meal. In the near future, the Groenplaats will also be reconstructed.
