Cathedral of Our Lady's architecture left the whole family in awe, genuinely stunning inside. Antwerp itself is compact and easy to explore with kids, no long transfers to worry about.
Antwerp is lovely and the Brabo Fountain was a genuine hit with the little ones. But one day felt badly over-scheduled, we were rushing the kids from the cathedral to the rooftop with no time to just let them be, and everyone was fraying by dinner.
Quiet, charming, and refreshingly uncrowded family break compared to the bigger European cities.
Antwerp is charming but our hotel room was quite dated and small for a family of four, tight squeeze with two kids and luggage. MAS rooftop and the cathedral were the redeeming highlights though.
MAS rooftop views over Antwerp are worth the trip on their own.
We swapped the usual France-or-Italy route for Belgium and Antwerp more than held its own. The children scrambled up to the MAS rooftop for the panoramic port views, and the Grand Market Place looked stunning at every hour we crossed it.
