A trip to any European city wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the flagship attractions that feature on tourists’ checklists; in Antwerp, that would include Het Steen or Grote Markt or the city’s famous Cathedral. However, beyond every city’s hotspots lie lesser-known but equally charming finds that truly express its character, and set your visit apart from the rest.
The beauty of YAYS living is that these places are right on your doorstep, waiting to be discovered.
The Diamond District offers so many enriching experiences off the beaten tourist path: dive into the world of Belgian fine chocolate at Chocolate Nation, discover the most creative side of Antwerp in a visit to the ModeMuseum or MHKA, and enjoy the peace of less frequented spots like the botanic garden or the Begijnhof. You’ll soon find out that this neighbourhood has more cultural highlights to offer than you can imagine.
