Yeah I'm from Brussels, Antwerp is parking space.

Antwerp has a lot of small restaurants in the center where you can get different kinds of food, so I wouldn't worry about that.
There's also a big cinema at the edge of the city (Kinepolis) to pass the time.

Im from holland, you should be fine with just English in Belgium also most people in Belgium are very helpful. Some things to do there:

1. Antwerpen Zoo
2. Aquatopia
3. Onze Lieve Vrouwe Kathedraal
4. Museum aan de Stroom
5. De Grote Markt
6. Shopping De Meir / Vogeltjesmarkt
7. Train station Centraal Station Antwerpen
   There are a lot of things to see and do, but it depends on what you like and your age off course.
   Hopefully I helped you a bit.

Go to the zoo, last year when I visited I couldn't see the egyptian themed part of it, it was under construction :( Also say hi to those penguins from me, one of them was biting my umbrella.

I will add just:
Antwerp cathedral
Saint Anna's tunnel

If you have a few hpurs, take the train to Bruges.

used to live in Belgium for 6 years ^-^ Its an awesome country though the weather isnt always the best

you should try out all those famous beers as well as waffles :3 plus chocolate obviously

never beeen (ಥ﹏ಥ) so can't really recommend anywhere. but have a safe and fun trip. even if it's for business, doesn't mean you can't have fun xD

I enjoyed there the Comic Museum.

Haven't been to Belgium yet, but I wish you a great time there! Thansk for the GAs!

Belgian here! If that's your sort of thing, go to Brugge, they say in the movie it's like a fairytale city and I couldn't agree more, definitely worth the small train trip from Antwerp. Word of advice though, better go early in the morning, before the hordes of tourists storm the city.

Antwerp has loads of things to visit, check this page. The Rubens House is amazing.

A few beers you cimply can't miss :

• Duvel Tripel Hop HBC-291
• Tripel Karmeliet
• Orval
• Barbar

Enjoy your stay in Belgium and thanks for the GA's !

Next to Antwerp central rail station there's the zoo and between that central rail station and Anwerp city park there's the Jewish quarter with a lot of small shops were they craft jewelry and diamonds in the traditional way and there's also a diamond museum there and nice restaurants and delicatessens. The Jewish community of Antwerp is a key factor in the economic development of Antwerp as they do 85% of the diamond and precious metals trade in Antwerp.

BUMP

If you like beer you'll have a blast

Bumpy :3

What's Belgium famous for? Chocolates and child abuse, and they only invented the chocolates to get to the kids.

I'm from Belgium, ±25km from Antwerp. Antwerp really is a town to be explored on foot + public transport. Just enter the first tourist info, grab some folders you like and have the best time. If you have a car available I would also recommand:

• Duvel Brewery
• fort Breendonk this place gives me chills everytime I visit, It really reflects the horror of what went on

Bump! :)

Try some Belgium "special" beers.:)

Don't forget to drink tons of Belgium special beer and by the time you depart have a huge bag of chocolates to take with you :3
Totally need to try ''stoofvlees friet met mayo'' and most important enjoy your stay here ^^
If anyone is rude tell'm we'll come hunt them down :')))

First of all you do not want to waste time in the capital.
Antwerp, Gent (when they have the festivals which is probably not now) and Bruges ( must place to visit, check the net for images) are the places to go too.
