Belgium: Antwerp
Next morning, we then took the train from Leuven to Antwerp
Antwerp Central station, which has absolutely gorgeous facade & interior.
Antwerp is the world diamond centre. (70% of diamonds in world are traded here)
DiamondLand which showcases the different types of diamonds and technology to achieve the perfect 'Flanders' cut.
Courtyard of Rubenhuis (home of Rubens, Antwerp's most famous painter)
Cathedral of Our Lady, the largest & finest Gothic cathedral, which took 2 centuries to complete. It has breathtakingly beautiful interior and houses 4 early canvases by Rubens, such as...
"Raising of the Cross"
Nearby was the "Descent from the Cross" painting
Han & I in front of the Renaissance Town Hall at the Market Square
Replica at Mini-Europe
Maritime Museum
This was a super long pedestrain tunnel under the river to link both sides-1572m!
So glad we went for Antwerp instead of dismissing it as just a diamond city
