The Experience

Brussels to Antwerp, Rubens Included

If you're based in Brussels, this is the simplest way to see Antwerp. You meet your guide on the Grand Place and travel together by train; the return ticket is included.

In Antwerp the day starts at Central Station and the Diamond District, then continues to a famous chocolate shop and the Rubens House, where you hear about Rubens's life and work.

The route ends in the old town with the Cathedral of Our Lady, home to four Rubens masterpieces, before the train back to Brussels.

The honest version

Good reviews, and the train is far more relaxing than a coach. Entrance fees are not included, so budget for the cathedral and the Rubens House if you go inside, and book the house's time slot ahead.
