Antwerp is a cosmopolitan city. Tourists from all over the world are coming to see the Cathedral, the Grote Markt,… Apart from these well-known spots, Antwerp also treasures many hidden gems, which are also more than worth a visit…
- The Vlaeykensgang is a cute and cosy alley connecting the Hoogstraat, Oude Koornmarkt and Pelgrimstraat. It’s super quiet out there, and in summer you can listen to the sounds of the Carillon. Lovely!
- Tourists are coming to Antwerp to see the Cathedral, which is understandable of course, but the Sint-Pauluskerk is also worth a visit. The interior is impressive, and next to the church there’s a magnificent lawn of sculptures. You’ll be surprised! (Sint-Paulusstraat 22)
- In the neighborhood of the Antwerpen-Centraal railway station, there’s Kleinblatt. In this Jewish bakery, you can find delicious kosher bread and nearly-legendary brioches and all sorts of patisserie. The bakery has a rich family history and is well-known in Antwerp but also far beyond in Brussels, Paris and London. Yum! (Provinciestraat 206)
- If you’re longing for some afternoon tea, head towards the Hendrik Conscienceplein. At Salon de Thé Claude you’ll find the very best scones, sandwiches and macarons. Enjoy! (Hendrik Conscienceplein 5)
- Tarbouch is the only true Libanese restaurant in Antwerp. Every weekend you can enjoy a rich and irresistible buffet. Highly recommended if you like to taste all sorts of dishes! (Appelmansstraat 18)
