Antwerp at Christmas as a group: stalls on Grote Markt and Groenplaats, the Cathedral of Our Lady and Rubens’ paintings.
Antwerp celebrates Christmas in the heart of its old town. On the Grote Markt, the stalls surround the Brabo fountain, in front of the Renaissance City Hall and the guild houses with their gilded gables. A few steps away, the market continues on Groenplaats, at the foot of the Rubens statue and the spire of the Cathedral of Our Lady, which holds several of the painter’s masterpieces, including “The Elevation of the Cross” and “The Descent from the Cross”. Your group can also walk along the Scheldt to the Steen castle or admire the Central Station, and take home some “Antwerpse handjes”, the hand-shaped biscuits. Clubs, associations or groups of friends from 20 participants: departure from the place of your choice and a tailor-made programme.
