Antwerp is a port city on Belgium’s River Scheldt, with history dating to the Middle Ages. In its center, the centuries-old Diamond District houses thousands of diamond traders, cutters and polishers.
Antwerp’s Flemish Renaissance architecture is typified by the Grote Markt, a central square in the old town.
At the 17th-century Rubens House, period rooms display works by the Flemish Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens.
