Antwerp is the second largest city in Belgium, commonly known as Little Florence🙋♀️
#2月好地方2025
Compared to the medieval towns of Bruges and Ghent, Antwerp suddenly feels like a modern city.
The architecture here is a little bit similar to Milan and Paris, with a harmonious unity and occasional office buildings.
The station in Antwerp is very beautiful. It feels like it is comparable to King's Cross Station in London. Both are wide steel structures with a main color scheme, and there are also more sculptures.
Why is it called Little Florence? I think it’s because the shopping experience here is very good. There are all kinds of brands and many vintage shops. You can find treasures here.
1. Antwerpen-Centraal station
Address – Koningin Astridplein 27, 2018 Antwerpen, Belgium
Features: Beautiful, steel structure + main color wall, and at the same time there are fine carvings, known as the "Railway Cathedral"
Rating – 10/10
2. Our Lady’s Cathedral Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal
Address – Groenplaats 21, 2000 Antwerpen, Belgium
Features – The main church of the Diocese of Antwerp, dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The original interior decoration of the church was destroyed by Calvinists during the Beeldenstorm in the 16th century, so the interior is very simple, but there are still many things worth visiting in the church, including many works by oil painting masters, four of which are masterpieces by Rubens.
Rating – 10/10
3. Nello & Patrasche Statue
Address: In front of the Cathedral of Our Lady
Features: The story is based on the novel A Dog of Flanders (1872) by the British writer Vida (a pen name of Maria Louise Lamé)
Rating – 10/10
4. CoCo Bubble Tea Antwerp
Address – Wiegstraat 8, 2000 Antwerpen, Belgium
Features - I was moved to tears when I saw the hand-shaken drink shop in Taiwan. The recipe is exactly the same and it tastes delicious.
