Antwerp is at its busiest during the seasons of summer (June to August) and winter (December to February). In summer, the city gets flooded with visitors enjoying the gentle summer sun that is never too harsh, and in winter the city lights up with Christmas cheer and festivities. This is the ideal time to go, due to the flurry of summer and winter activities that take place, however tourist overcrowding can be a problem and booking in advance is a must. If you would prefer to see the city during a quieter time, then consider going in spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November). The crowds are fewer and the prices are lower, with many hotels and restaurants offering off-season specials.

Commonly nick-named Belgium’s “Capital of Cool”, Antwerp offers a little something of everything when it comes to culture and lifestyle.
Located on the banks of the Schelde River, connecting to the North Sea, Antwerp’s geographical location helped it prosper and thrive in the Middle Ages, becoming one of Europe’s most developed cities thanks to its port trading. Surviving a Spanish revolt, a Dutch uprising and the ravages of World War One, the city has more than proved its resilience and ability to adapt.
This is perfectly shown in the juxtaposition of historic architecture with its gentrified, modern ethos and lifestyle. Known as an art and fashion epicentre in Europe, Antwerp is the home of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, one of the most prestigious art schools in Europe, founded in 1663.
