HC, we couldn't make time for Antwerp this trip but went to Ghent and it too was beautiful. I have to confess that my previous visits to Europe for pleasure concentrated on France, Spain, Italy and Greece and I had neglected Northern Europe. Must learn more about the history. Not the normal 20th century stuff but the 16th-19th century must be fascinating. Didn't touch on it at school. Anyway great country Belguim, highly recommend it.
