Architecture
You can read Antwerp's history from its buildings.
You'll find buildings with a medieval core and 16th-century city palaces alongside 19th-century storehouses and hyper-modern office buildings, criss-crossed throughout the city centre.
Some historic buildings were even 'pimped' with hyper-modern additions.
