(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Antwerpen-CentraalPass-by Only
Antwerp Central Station, also called the 'Middenstatie' or 'Railway Cathedral' by the people of Antwerp. This station was put into use in 1905.

The station has been voted several times as one of the most beautiful in the world, and it certainly shows.
Statue of Anthony Van DykePass-by Only
The painter and etcher Antony van Dyck lived from 1599-1641 and was the most important Flemish artist of the 17th century after Rubens. Van Dyck was born in 'Den Berendans' behind the current Grote Markt in {Antwerp}. He was the seventh child of twelve of a wealthy textile merchant. His drawing talent was evident at an early age. As a ten-year-old boy, he apprenticed with Hendrik van Balen, painter and chief dean of the Guild of Saint Luke. Antoon's earliest portrait, of a seventy-year-old man, dates from 1613, when he was fourteen years old. At the age of fifteen or sixteen he painted his first self-portrait. In 1615 he became an independent painter, but it was not until 1618 that Antoon was officially given the title of 'master'. In 1621 he left for Italy and returned to Antwerp in 1627.
Snijders&RockoxhuisPass-by Only
The Snijders & Rockoxhuis in the {Keizerstraat} is the seventeenth-century patrician home of Nicolaas Rockox (1560-1640). He was mayor of Antwerp, art collector, patron and friend of Rubens. Frans Snijders was a painter who lived next to the mayor. Rockox bought the house in 1603 together with the adjacent house and had both buildings converted into a beautiful city palace. One of the later owners, Frans van Simpelvelt, had the Renaissance facade renovated in 1715. The year 1715 refers to this.
