The Groenplaats is centrally located in downtown Antwerp. At its center is a statue of Peter Paul Rubens.

If you visit Antwerp, you cannot miss the Groenplaats. Numerous public transport routes intersect here, it is the gateway to Antwerp's fashion district, the historic center and the shopping district.

That is why locals also use the Groenplaats as a meeting point. From here you can easily get anywhere in the city and this open square makes it easy to find each other.

Or you can just enjoy the sun on a bench, or wave at the Rubens statue. Don't forget to take a photo of the Cathedral, where the view from the Groenplaats is ideal.

The Groenplaats with the statue of Rubens was the central cemetery of Antwerp until the 18th century. During the Austrian occupation it was transformed into a square and since then it has been a meeting place for Antwerp residents. The Groenplaats is very popular with day tourists. There is a regular flower market here. At the first rays of the sun, all terraces are always full. From the square you have a beautiful view of the Cathedral of Our Lady.
