Area Antwerp

On the very northern border of Belgium, adjacent to the Netherlands, we find one of the largest ports in Europe and the second largest Belgian city, Antwerp. The city itself lies on the river Scheldt, which flows through several other large cities in Belgium and is their connection with the port. Antwerp is a beautiful historic city with picturesque old and modern architecture. Famous is the local historic train station, diamond shops or the fact that the famous painter Rubens lived and worked here.
