Antwerp in 2 days — FAQ

Is 2 days enough for Antwerp?

Two days covers the city — the old town, diamonds, Rubens and a food tour — on day one, and a Bruges or Ghent day trip on day two, a great mix of the city and Flanders.

What should I not miss in 2 days in Antwerp?

The Grote Markt and cathedral, the Diamond District, the Rubens House, a chocolate-and-beer tour, and a day trip to Bruges or Ghent.

Should I day-trip to Bruges or Ghent from Antwerp?

Both are wonderful — Bruges is the most romantic canal city, while Ghent is livelier with grand medieval architecture; either makes a perfect day trip from Antwerp.
