Short Breaks by Car - Antwerp by Eurotunnel

A bustling, cosmopolitan city full of Flemish charm and culture. The birthplace of Rubens, Antwerp boasts a wealth of museums and art galleries. Elegant and sophisticated shops tempt you by day and at night, choose between intimate gourmet restaurants or vibrant jazz bars and clubs.

Antwerp is the diamond capital of the world and no stay is complete without a visit to Diamondland and the Diamond Museum. Temptation also abounds in Antwerp's shopping streets with hundreds of jewellery shops to drool over. For a change of mood, stroll through the open-air sculpture gallery of Middelheim Park or visit the Royal Museum of Fine Arts housing works by Van Dyck, Memling and Rubens.

The Vogelmarkt or bird market is one of the most popular attractions of Antwerp. Held on a Sunday morning, the main attraction is the variety of animals on sale: from cats and dogs to budgies and snakes. The Saturday morning market on the Theaterplein is the place to be enticed by gourmet foods.

Antwerp also claims six world-famous fashion designers and a state-of-the-art fashion museum. All set against a backdrop of beautiful gabled architecture, 600 restaurants, a thriving seaport and the largest and tallest Gothic cathedral in Flanders.
