Antwerp (or Antwerpen in the native language) is in the Flemish part of Belgium. A tiny country with much diversity and two official languages. Antwerp is a very old city with much to see. I've been many times and still have not seen everything. There is an incredible, old catherdral in the center which is very impressive. Roam the small ...
