Antwerp, Belgium's second largest city and Europe's largest harbor has kept many memories of its rich past. Above all, it is the city of Peter Paul Rubens, world famous master of the 17th century.
Drive to the center and leave the bus to visit the Marquet Square with its ancient houses and Our Lady's Cathedral. This cathedral contains, amongst other treasures, two of Ruben's master works: "The Elevation of the Cross" and "The Decent from the Cross".
Antwerp is also the world's diamond center, so you'll be able to visit a diamond workshop to learn more. Return to Brussels after a drive through the harbor of the city.
