In 2017 I had the chance to speak at FOSDEM in Brussels, and I used this opportunity to travel around Belgium a bit, one city every day. One of the cities I visited was Antwerp.

Being very honest, it’s definitely not a city I would visit again. The best part of the city for me was the train station, which is trully beautiful. I would recommend people to stop there, see the train station and move on.

Stay

TBD

Transport

I did everything walking, the city is not that big and I like walking. I got the train to get there from Ghent and then got the train again to go to Rotterdam. The main reason why I decided to stop in Antwerp was because it was literally in the way of going to Rotterdam from Ghent.

Places

  • The train station is quite nice. It’s the place I spent some time, just looking around.

Food

  • Nothing that I remember and it’s worth listing. Just cheap food and nice fries. :)
