About The Port Of Antwerp
Antwerp sits some 50 miles inland along the Scheldt River, a seaport that has anchored global trade since the 15th century and still ranks among Europe's busiest. As Belgium's second city and the historic heart of Flanders, it built its fortune on diamonds and maritime commerce, a legacy visible in its grand guild houses and riverside fortress, Het Steen. Though heavily bombed during World War II, the city preserved much of its medieval core, with cobbled lanes threading past the Grote Markt and its ornate step-gabled facades.
The pier sits within walking distance of the old town, making the Gothic cathedral, crowned by a soaring spire, an easy first stop, along with the Brabo Fountain in the main square. Beyond the historic center, Antwerp's reputation for fashion, beer, and chocolate gives visitors plenty of reason to linger before returning to the ship.
Pavlus Recommendations
How our planners would spend a day in Antwerp.
Climb the Cathedral Tower
Belgium's tallest church, a UNESCO-listed Gothic masterpiece with a lace-like spire and Rubens masterworks inside, sits steps from the Grote Markt. Allow about an hour to see the interior and climb toward the tower for city views.
Browse the Diamond District
Wander the streets near the station where diamond cutting and trading have thrived for centuries, with shop windows glittering behind fortified facades. A short tram or taxi ride from the old town, it's worth a look even without buying.
Sample Belgian Beer and Chocolate
Duck into a brown café near the Grote Markt for a trappist ale or a chocolatier for fresh pralines, both local specialties worth savoring before returning to the ship.
