What to see in Antwerp?
One of the city's largest and oldest landmarks is Het Steen Castle, built between 1200 and 1225 on the site of an earlier fortress from the 9th century. Over the centuries it served various functions: it was a prison, a private residence, a warehouse or even a sawmill. The current castle is only part of the former fortification located on the now-defunct De Werf peninsula. While in the city, of course, you must see the market square with its beautiful town hall and fountain, St. Mary's Cathedral and historic guild houses.
While walking around Antwerp, look around for murals related to Belgian cartoons.
