Lovely restaurant in the beginning of the big park. In the summer it is wonderful to sit outside in the shades of the trees, while the winter they have a very cozy inside area. Try their salads!

Wonderful Italian restaurant. Not the most affordable, but the environment is superb and very cozy. The ideal spot for a business lunch or a romantic dinner. I love their fish dishes.

If you like big, impressive paintings I can highly recommend the former house of the painter with the same first name as myself: Pieter Paul Rubens. It's a breathtaking museum.

The latest addition to our city. Opened in 2011, the museum gives an overview of the city's history and the artists that lived here. Get up the roof. I regularly go just to enjoy the view. It's free!

Entertainment & Activities
Who doesn't love a quite straw in the zoo, just to see the animals. It has been recently rebuild and it's close to the central station (also a beautiful building!). Enjoy it!

Shopping
Superb golden ceiling, in the middle of Antwerp's shopping street. Plenty of good shops and a nice champagne bar. Go there, even if it's just to enjoy the architecture (it was rebuilt after a fire).
