Antwerp
Breeze to Antwerp, the diamond capital of the world, in less than 3hrs with Eurostar. Just change platforms at Brussels Midi, and you’ll be dining on bottomless pans of steaming mussels in no time.
Begin your holiday at the heart of the old town, where gabled guildhouses, Belle Epoque mansions and Gothic churches vie for your attention around the Grote Markt.
Feeling the need for a bit of relaxation? Unwind in Middelheim's sculpture park beside Rodin creations, or cruise along the meandering River Scheldt. If you’re travelling en famille, why not take the kids to see the sharks and stingrays at Aquatopia?

For a culture fix, explore the palatial Rubenhuis once home to Rubens, which now houses ten of his acclaimed works. Who said museums aren’t romantic? Check out the Diamond Museum to discover the secret of the stone. Lesser known gems include the warehouse housing the Photo Museum and the MOMU Fashion Museum with its sumptuous collection of lace, fabrics and embroidery.
- Chill out at Jazz Middleheim from 15-19 August. This year the festival, held in Middleheim Park, will feature the fantastically-named Dirk Swartenbroeckx, perhaps better known as Buscemi, who since 1989 has been pleasing crowds with Latin-influenced beats, with a dash of bossa and jazz thrown in for good measure
- Splash out on Belgian-style fashion on the Meir, a broad leafy boulevard dotted with street cafés and 19th-century façades
- Antwerp's most popular market is on the Theaterplein; snap up organic fruit, fresh meats and tantalising antipasti at the bustling Zaterdagmarkt on Saturdays.
- For laid-back dining that won't blow the budget, take your taste buds to Prinsstraat, cosy eetcafés dotting Grote Pieter Potstraat, or snack on filling falafel on the Oude Koornmarkt.
- Make for the Latin Quarter for cabaret, chanson and arty cafés, or marvel at pirouettes and pliés at the Koninklijk Ballet van Vlaanderen (Royal Ballet of Flanders). Enjoy Mozart and Mahler at Koningin Elisabethzaal, or pop legends rubbing shoulders with the stars of tomorrow at deSingel.
