A burgundian city.

 Antwerp still has something of Burgundy about it.  Eating and drinking here is sheer delight.  The Sinjoren have elevated this ritual into an art, the art of living: take your time and savor every moment. The hundreds of cafés and restaurants provide a form of culture too, one that comes in all the colors of the rainbow with all the smells of the world’s best cuisines.  Each has its own atmosphere and character.  Many ancient buildings have been turned into a restaurant or  café.  That is partly what gives Antwerp its atmosphere.  Going out to eat here is an occupation of a whole evening..,,,,,,,,

 

Doing a terrace is a favourite pastime  in Antwerp.    From your seat at one of the narrow street cafés around the cathedral you will feel the pulse of the city which can be unbelievably busy, particularly in summer.  Thousands of people flock to the old city for the famous carillon concerts.  Some people prefer one of the squares.  The Town square is the most beautiful square of the city as well as the historic heart of it.  It is one of the most pleasant squares in the city (certainly since traffic has been banned from it).
