Town Square in Antwerp

Grote Markt or town square is a great place to start and end the day in the city. It is the heart of the old city.

The Grote Markt is really a beautiful open space, surrounded by the town hall and the main cathedral. The place is great for walking around and the streets nearby are great for window shopping. One could find many traditional and tourist shops lining up those streets.

The best parts are the endless outdoor cafes and restaurants that line up the streets. We found an Eyptian restaurant amongst the many there. We managed to find seatings outside. During a sunny and warm weather like yesterday, it was definitely a beautiful spot to enjoy meal. In all we spent nearly 7 hours in Antwerp.
