A small but beautiful botanical garden in the heart of Antwerp. Especially interesting if you are into cacti.

Right next to the art academy of Antwerp, this small café is a terrific place to sit down and enjoy the view of people passing by. Their coffee is very good and they also have a variety of ways to prepare it, if you're into that stuff.

This sight reminds me of the beginning of Antonioni's L'Avventura. In other words: again a confrontation with the majesty of nature. While standing here, I realize that water has no foundation to build on. I am overwhelmed: as human beings, we are forced to live our lives in uncertainty while facing the horizon of death.

Axel Vervoordt Gallery is a renowned art gallery, arts and antiques trading organization, with an interior design department for worldwide customers. Is at 20 min from Antwerp. Amazing.

Superb place to stay in the city! They have a nice small shop too where you find a lot of nice handmade home products.
