You've inspired me to spend more time in Antwerp - excellent series !

Benonie · November 20th, 2012, 05:40 PM

Thank you and yes. Antwerp is worth more than a quick visit.

beautiful shots of an equally beautiful city.

Benonie · November 22nd, 2012, 10:15 PM

Thanks mate!

And so we reach the old harbour quarter north of the center: Het Eilandje, or The Island.

145. The harbour authorities recently start building a new head quarter on top of this old fire station. It's designed by Zaha hadid.

The main attraction is the new city museum: MAS, designed by Neutelings Riedijk Architects.

In a short time it became a popular spot amongst tourist and inhabitants.

Nice overvieuws of the city! Like the zooms

Benonie · November 30th, 2012, 08:58 PM

Thank you Joshsam! The best place for a panoramic view over Antwerp, if not the only...

Is it ever possible to climb the cathedral tower?

Benonie · December 2nd, 2012, 10:46 AM

You can book a guided tour in the tower, but only on wednesday afternoon. A good fysical condition is a must.

danmartin1985 · December 3rd, 2012, 12:40 AM

great photos in a great weather.
do you have more sunny days than rainy/cloudy days?

Thanks, I might well give that a go one day!

Benonie · December 3rd, 2012, 10:28 PM

I didin't climb the tower yet, but it seems a great idea. I love the steep steps in medieval towers.

Well, something like that...
No seriously, Belgium is known as a grey and wet country, somewhat like the United Kingdom, north of France, Holland and Denmark. But of course there are more sunny days than can be expected.
