Belgium

Belgium is known for the world's best diamonds and chocolate... are you kidding me?!

Antwerp is Belgium’s hidden gem—known as the diamond capital of the world and bursting with chocolate shops and Belgian waffles -- it's time to indulge!

Start in the historic city center, where you’ll find Grote Markt, a beautiful square surrounded by guild houses and the impressive Cathedral of Our Lady. Inside, you’ll see works by Rubens and stunning architecture.

Take a bike ride or stroll along the Scheldt River for great views. The MAS Museum (Museum aan de Stroom) is a must—its rooftop offers panoramic views of the city, and the exhibits cover Antwerp’s global connections.

Antwerp Central Station is one of the most beautiful train stations in Europe. This city is well-connected by train. It's a great base for exploring other Belgian cities or being a stop along your way from Amsterdam to Paris.
