Nice compact European getaway for the two of us, nothing too hectic. Belgian chocolate and beer combination is dangerous for the waistline but worth every bit.
De Koninck Brewery tasting was a fun afternoon together, my husband is now obsessed with Belgian beer. Rubens House takes maybe an hour but worth it for the art lovers among us.
Charming city overall but our guide pushed us towards a chocolate shop that felt like a set commission stop rather than a genuine recommendation. Prices there were also on the higher side compared to other shops we found later ourselves.
Grand Market Place at sunset is pure magic for a couple, go there in the evening.
Vlaeykensgang alley was the hidden gem of the week, we'd have walked straight past it without the itinerary nudging us in.
Antwerp is genuinely lovely and the Grand Market Place never got old on us. But our hotel's heating rattled all night for the first three nights and it took two complaints before anyone came, which frayed the romance a little.
June (early summer), when the weather is delightful for strolls and outdoor exploration.
