I kept hearing Antwerp was a great place to visit, so I did. And, I was NOT disappointed. So far, I like every place i’ve been for different reasons. But, I thought Antwerp was breathtaking on so many levels.
I mean……really?!
p.s – I wish I had invested in a nice camera or an iPhone 10 before this trip because like…ugh.
Antwerp was more than I expected. It was gorgeous. The streets were filled with shops- both local and global stores. Oh, and if you forgot your favorite shirt, don’t worry – there is an H&M literally every other store. And, they were all crowded..?!?
I had an amazing time walking through the streets and into the stores. I will say, it was very “american”, so don’t expect much of a local feel. I mean, there was a Five Guys and Pizza Hut. Nonetheless, it was the buildings and scenery that really made this a must for me.
It wasn’t enough their city is gorgeous in itself, but their train station?! I spent 10 minutes just wondering taking pictures. It was stunning. The detail, the history, omg…I want to go back!
Oh…and this gem.
Beautiful. City was known for the diamond district. Badly bombed during WW2 but those buildings stood tall. Many refurbished.
