Antwerp, Belgium


Antwerp is the second largest town in Belgium. I recommend going for chocolate shops and Belgian waffles. Neuhaus is a great chocolatier, but there are many shops to try, so I'd suggest going to multiple chocolate shops to buy gifts or just look at the beautiful displays. No suggestions for a particular bar, but stop in somewhere for Belgian beer. The main square is not far from the train station at all. There are a bunch of places to shop along the Meir, one of the main streets that is a very short walk from the central train station.

My friend says there is a great market on Saturdays and Sundays in Antwerp. Not sure where but if you're interested, just post a comment and I'll find out.

Lebanese restaurant that has great food, cheap prices, and very good service: from the station, walk down the main street toward the Meir. On your right, just a short walk, is a pub called Kelly's. Walk through the pub and out the back door. You'll be in a small square. Just to the left of the door you walk out of is a slightly pink building that houses the Lebanese restaurant. Enjoy!
