A place with charisma.
In this place, whichever direction you look... Antwerp shows its wealth in all its splendor. Hanza houses remind us of the good relations with German areas. Brabo makes a victory gesture on his fountain. The town hall has been restored to its glory. The peace tree, etc... in other words, a square with a history. As an alternative experience guide I can keep writing...

The city's main square is surrounded by 16th-century buildings, including the Town Hall. It dominates the west side of the "Grote Markt" and was built in 1565.

In the middle of the square is the green statue of Brabo, Antwerp's most famous mythical figure. According to legend, Brabo killed the giant, who demanded excessive tolls from the boatmen who wanted to enter the city via the waterway. If they could not pay, the giant chopped off their hands. The statue shows Brabo throwing the giant's hand into the Scheldt.

The Grote Markt ("Great Market Square") of Antwerp is a town square situated in the heart of the old city quarter. It is filled with an extravagant city hall, numerous elaborate 16th century guildhalls, many restaurants and cafés. Being within walking distance of the Scheldt river, it hosts a Christmas market and ice rink in winter. Like most places in Belgium...
It is a great place to visit!
