ORIENTATION

 

Large Antwerp's broad avenues mark the position of the original fortified city walls. In the historic centre, Notre Dame Cathedral, a gothic church from the XIV and XV centuries, is worth visiting.

 

The Market square is surrounded by characteristic medieval houses and by the city hall, with a special italo-flemish style, very exclusive of this region. In the streets around the square, there are many clubs with live jazz, typical of the nightlife of the city.

 

The south of the city used to be a former trade dock in the 60´s, but nowadays is probably the trendiest part of the city and known as a "yuppie stronghold".
