Magnificent Antwerp, Belgium | old town walking tour with captions

We hope you enjoy this walk with us in Antwerp, Belgium. Turn on captions for some interesting facts about Antwerp.
Our guided walking tour takes us around the centre of Antwerpen old town and covers most attractions and historic sites of Antwerp.
We begin our walk at the Museum aan de Stroom and end at St Anna’s Tunnel, or Underpass.
It is situated 40 kilometres (25 mi) north of Brussels, and about 15 kilometres (9 mi) south of the Dutch border. Antwerp is also situated on the Schelde (Scheldt) River, about 55 miles (88 km) from the North Sea.
Antwerp is the most populous city in Belgium and it the second-largest metropolitan region after Brussels. The city is in the Dutch - (Flemish) speaking part of Belgium and is the unofficial capital of Flanders.
The Port of Antwerp is one of the biggest in the world! We have another walk around this area.

Belgium is at the top of my list. Always been drawn to the art, etc. it has to offer. Love the outside cafes. AND I love Belgium Waffles and a hot cup of coffee. What is with the bell constantly ringing. Hi from Sandpoint, Idaho USA

[@LivingWalks]

Hello there HD, ah yes indeed a gem of a place. We've spent more time in nearby Netherlands and are completely in love with the country but visiting Belgium and especially Ghent was a real joy too. Good question about the bells, I'm not sure why they were so insistent... maybe someone here can throw some light on that?

[@elisabethleimer6835]

It's so nice to hear them ring........Idaho

[@wimve4719]

Not sure at what time of day or what day of the week you passed the Cathedral but normally bells ring for an extended period before mass. Sundays, there usually are two or three masses and bells will ring like 15 minutes (or even half an hour) before the start. Guessing it's that.

[@relaxbreathesleep1127]

Having a nice Belgium beer at 7:43 and listening to those bells would be just the ticket right now!

[@LivingWalks]

I wouldn't mind that myself RBS, and then perhaps on to a lovely ‘brown café’ in the early evening?

Well hello there Steven, so happy you felt so. It's a lovely city and we were lucky to have the soundtrack of the Cathedral bells, albeit rather insistently! All the best to you.

[@elisabethleimer6835]

Lovely City, so much outdoor seating and I loved the Church bells ringing. It reminds me of my old Country Austria...thanks for posting ! Great captions, very informative, that Antwerp Cathedral is so beautiful !

[@LivingWalks]

Hello Elizabeth, how nice of you to take the time to let us know. Yes it’s a lovely city isn’t it? Pleased to hear that you found the captions of interest too. Best wishes to you.

[@leighyogamindfulness]

Nice walk! I like the way you plan out your walks - you always seem to find the nicest streets to connect the most iconic parts of the city you're visiting.

[@LivingWalks]

Hello LY&M, good of you to say so. We do spend as much time as possible researching the nicest and most walkable streets, so how nice to know it's appreciated. All the best to you.

[@TheLaughingLion]

Wow you guys get around two different countries really fast one second you are in Istanbul and now you are in Antwerp. That was great at 7:30 you caught the cathedral bells ringing loudly. That was the best shot of the video in my opinion. I also like that wall mural at 14:03. Wow those super long escalators.. I do remember they have those in Europe... we don't have those in America.

[@LivingWalks]

Hi there friend, thanks for staying in contact. Well we do very much love to travel and it's been challenging to be at home mainly for a couple of years. There's just so much beauty to experience and where we live is handy as we have a local airport which until the pandemic flew to around 50 countries in Europe. I do hope it manages to bounce back. Ha ha, yes that was a bit of luck catching the cathedral bells ringing so loudly. How are things with you generally, getting a bit better I hope?

[@mindfulart8217]

This has to be one of the loveliest parts of the city. It was interesting to know about 9:38, thanks for the little history tour.

[@LivingWalks]

You're welcome MA, pleased you enjoyed the captions too.

we were there last week to see depeche mode play the stadium, had a walk around the city then drove back to the uk thru the countryside, fantastic place we will definitely be going back to explore more

[@LivingWalks]

Morning Stubbk3, ah that sounds like quite a trip! Glad you had a great time and this brought a little bit of it back to you. Thanks for dropping by.

[@stubbk3]

@@LivingWalks thanks. And yes need to go back just to see that tunnel at the end of your video.

[@Resmith18SR]

Id love to live there just for the chocolate and the beer.

[@LivingWalks]

Ah yes, chocolate and the beer is always a draw!!

[@BoyInAFridge]

I love the bells in the background! I've never been to Antwerp before, but this piqued my interest :)

[@LivingWalks]

Hi BIAF, yes we didn't know too much before our visit and enjoyed it very much. We spent a bit of time coordinating our walk to get in the bells chiming, so pleased you liked it!

[@madanrudra3055]

Thanks friend, we've been enjoying your Palace of Versailles walk too. Hope to stay in touch fellow walker. Here to support you.

[@simpletravelers5218]

Wonderful video.👍

[@LivingWalks]

Thanks for the visit friend!

[@791NewsK2]

Frankly, until recently, I knew very little about Belgium. Belgium for me was the country where my carpet was made. 🙂 But now, especially thanks to your beautiful video, I have learned more about this country than in my entire previous life. It turns out that Belgium is a very interesting and beautiful country 🍺🤠👍

[@LivingWalks]

I quite agree friend, we felt the same before we visited and we were very pleased with what we found. BTW What a wonderfully atmospheric walk I've just taken on your channel. I've become interested in Russia through 'Bald and Bankrupt' and just find it fascinating. I visited when I was quite young (in Soviet times), so it's of special interest to me. All the best to you.

[@791NewsK2]

@@LivingWalks Thank you for visiting my channel, my friend! I am very happy about it. Perhaps, in those distant Soviet years, when I also was quite young, we even saw each other somewhere in Russia ☃️🤠🍻😀👍
