How to Visit Antwerp (Belgium) in ONE DAY! City Tour!

It is our last day in Belgium and we almost didn't make it to Antwerp!! The locks in the river were broken and we could not get through. So AmaWaterways came through and made it to where we would not miss our port! They took us to the city by bus and we still were able to do a guided walking tour of the city. But, they also gave us 50 Euros for lunch and arranged it so that we could sample Belgian chocolates, Belgian waffles and Belgian beer for free! Also, with our ship card we were able to see the inside of the cathedral after mass was over (since it was a Sunday).

The walking tour was interesting and informative and we were able to see parts of the city that dated back to Medieval times and learned that Antwerp was one of the richest cities in the world. Also, I found it interesting to see that the very rich could be buried inside the cathedral, the rich buried in front and the poor in a field... which is now where the Christmas Market is held.

Once on our own, we wandered the city for a bit until the restaurant opened that was to give us our beer samples since we had decided to eat lunch there as well. That food was amazing!!! Jason had rabbit stew and I (Alisa) had a beef stew. Both were simple but extremely flavorful! Oh, and the beer was pretty great too.

We had a great day in Antwerp and have decided that we must come back to Belgium for more!!

Have you thought of trying out a narrow boat hire on the British canal system? You have to operate the locks yourself. Or, if you want to avoid locks, hire a boat on the Norfolk Broads. My husband and I fell in love with the Broads and after hiring for several years have bought a share in a boat. One of our fellow shareholding families is from the US. They travel over every year for their time on the boat. It’s a magical place!

The series has been awesome. The way you both describe everything & the history you seem to absorb. Never pictured myself on a river cruise but you guys & Dee & Jay may have just changed my mind. Love you guys! Harriet in PA

Antwerp my home city! In the cathedral there are 3 paintings on display from Peter Paul Rubens each worth 20 - 30 million Euro (about the same number in USD). He painted the women as they liked them at that time: Rubenesk - stocky round figured people 🙂

7:33 ey there, belgian here (Namur)It may feel weird but here in belgium, we think that applesauce pairs wells with some meats.
Ive always had applesauce when eating chicken and fries, and I myself find that the sweetness of the applesauce rly goes well with the roasted chicken, it rly works!

It's funny that for 'De Rooden Hoed' you actually switched the syllables around :p It's pronounced like 'De Rohden Hood' kind of, not 'de rooden hod'. Love to see you guys enjoying my city! <3
