Overview
Swap traditional sightseeing tours for an alternative exploration of Antwerp. Instead of going to touristy sights, go off the beaten track and discover the dark side of the city and its hidden gems. Along the way, hear tales about medieval legends, walk past the city’s Red Light District, and find out stories that wouldn’t feature in a guidebook. The route passes Grote Markt square, Het Steen fortress, and FelixArchief.
- A great way to discover lesser-known sights in Antwerp
- Hear commentary about the dark side of the diamond trade
- Stroll past a former medieval prison—Het Steen
