Beautiful Buildings in Antwerp, Antwerp, Belgium

Where can you see the most beautiful buildings in Antwerp, Belgium? Take an Antwerp architecture walk to find them.

I stayed in Antwerp for a month and one of the first things I noticed was the inconsistency. There’s a lot of beautiful architecture in Antwerp, but no consistent style.

Every building looks different, there’s a mix of old and new, and there’s no uniformity (of the kind you see in Parisian architecture, for example).

That’s why you never know what you might come across in Antwerp. You can suddenly see a spectacular building even on the most mundane street.

I created an Antwerp architecture self-guided walk to help you find the most beautiful buildings in Antwerp.

The first section of this guide covers the city centre and includes a lot of the city’s famous attractions.

The second section is about another part of the city, some gorgeous streets in the southeast of Antwerp, the main one being Cogels Osylei.

It’s a bit far from the centre but easy to reach. I think that’s a must-see if you love architecture.

I should also mention two other remarkable buildings in the north of the city - MAS Museum and Zaha Hadid Port House. MAS is especially worth visiting, not just for the architecture but also for the great exhibitions. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
