THE TASTES

Six local hapjes and three Antwerpse drinks

The tour’s defining element is the culinary sampling: six different local bites paired with three regional drinks, delivered across the walk so you taste Antwerp as you move through it.

THE HIDDEN CITY

Vlaeykensgang and Conscienceplein

Away from the main squares, the route drops into intimate corners—Vlaeykensgang and the Conscienceplein—sections of the city that reveal Antwerp’s quieter, medieval texture.

THE LANDMARKS

From the Steen to the Cathedral

Alongside the tucked-away alleys, the walk includes Antwerp’s headline sights—the Steen and the cathedral—so the tasting tour doubles as a concise introduction to the city’s civic and architectural highlights.
