Diamond districts and townhouses

Upmarket Antwerp’s pinned to the banks of the Scheldt River and mixes a glitzy diamond district with a Medieval city centre. There’s lots by way of shopping – it’s particularly popular with fashionistas and art enthusiasts. Ghent, meanwhile, comes up trumps on the looks front, thanks to its colourful canal-side townhouses and riverbank walking trails. There’s lots to see here, from a 12th-century castle to an 11th-century cathedral. Then there’s Belgium’s food. Don’t miss the chance to try moules-frites – mussels and chips – as well as sweet waffles or even fresh rabbit stew.

Port of call in Belgium

Antwerp

Perched on Belgium’s Scheldt River and dating back to the Middle Ages, Antwerp’s a city of contrasts. It’s famous for its flashy diamond district, as well as its Renaissance architecture. It’s popular with fashionistas and art lovers, yet retains its Medieval heart. Be sure to walk the ‘Diamond Square Mile’ – it’s lined with grinding shops, exhibitions and diamond showrooms.
