Food Scene
Lovely restaurant in the beginning of the big park. In the summer it is wonderful to sit outside in the shades of the trees, while the winter they have a very cozy inside area. Try their salads!

Wonderful Italian restaurant. Not the most affordable, but the environment is superb and very cozy. The ideal spot for a business lunch or a romantic dinner. I love their fish dishes.

If you like big, impressive paintings I can highly recommend the former house of the painter with the same first name as myself: Pieter Paul Rubens. It's a breathtaking museum.

The latest addition to our city. Opened in 2011, the museum gives an overview of the city's history and the artists that lived here. Get up the roof. I regularly go just to enjoy the view. It's free!

Who doesn't love a quite straw in the zoo, just to see the animals. It has been recently rebuild and it's close to the central station (also a beautiful building!). Enjoy it!

Shopping
Superb golden ceiling, in the middle of Antwerp's shopping street. Plenty of good shops and a nice champagne bar. Go there, even if it's just to enjoy the architecture (it was rebuilt after a fire).
