Antwerp

Together with Mrs. N I spent Monday and Tuesday in Antwerp, Belgium. Easy to reach from Brielle (1 1/2 hrs drive with the car) and being the "Diamond City" it was not that hard to motivate Mrs. N to join this trip, although we were in the Diamond district not even one time. But I have some other tips for everybody who wants to visit Antwerp and is not fond of super touristic stuff: Go to Marnixplaats, in the south of Antwerp, and you will find some good restaurants like Lucy Chang or the Fiskebar or nice and comfy bars e.g. the Vitrin or the Boudoir, located at the right Schelde bank near the City Centre.

Central Station in Antwerp is for sure one of the most beautiful ones in Europe

The tunnel is 572m long
