🏰 Antwerp: Art, Diamonds & History

Antwerp is a vibrant Belgian city known for its rich history, stunning architecture, and artistic heritage. I explored Cathedral of Our Lady, wandered the charming Grote Markt, and admired the city’s world-famous diamond district. The mix of medieval streets and modern culture makes Antwerp unforgettable. Tips for travelers: • Visit the Cathedral of Our Lady to see masterpieces by Rubens. • Explore the Grote Markt for cafés, shops, and historic buildings. • Check out the diamond district for a glimpse of Antwerp’s sparkling trade. Antwerp is perfect for art lovers, photographers, and culture enthusiasts, offering a unique blend of history and modern charm. #antwerp #belgiumtravel #cathedralofourlady #grotemarkt #historiccity #diamonddistrict #travelguide
