Antwerp is Belgium's hidden gem. In a country famous for chocolates and beer, Antwerp doesn't really specialize in either. Instead it is the Diamond capital of the world.
The city itself is filled with some of the best architecture on the continent. From the stunning OLV cathedral, to the fortress Steen on the riverbanks, to the incredible Grotemarkt and Stadthuis, the buildings here alone are worth the visit. The people are also among the nicest I've met on my travels. [edit text][editors]
