"The Annoying Flemish Giant Although the statue looks like a couple of guys teasing Lange Wapper about his unfortunate nickname, it's actually the giant teasing a couple of drunks! Lange Wapper, who stands in front of Het Steen castle on the Antwerp river, is a part of local folklore. He was also known to use tricks to approach women in order to steal their breast milk. Really!!"

Just amazing. If you are in Belgium you need to make the trip to see Het Steen! The tourist center is full of great info in multiple languages. Make the walk up the steps to the rooftop for amazing 360 views.

This beautiful castle has alot to see. You can access most of it for free including the rooftop, where you can have amazing views over the city. The staff are very helpful and attentive.

Great panoramic view of the river and tourist attractions. A city souvenir shop on the ground floor with many varieties of Antwerpen gift items.

It’s an old building that was built in 11th century but renovated over the years. Has cruise terminal, tourist information centre, a small museum about the city, and viewing points on top. Except the museum, other parts are free. The museum explains briefly about Antwerp and how they have been living in the city. Their industry, life and development in skyline is briefed. It’s a short museum and pleasant enough to look into it.

Modernized castle, while the outerwalls indicate a historic building. Inaide is a modern building that also acts as a tourist information and panoramic view spot.

Great place to visit, there’s a gift shop and a terrace where you can see the city from. Also loved the photography exhibition currently displaying.

Het Steen is what remains of the city's ancient fortress. Its architecture is beautiful, and it now houses a tourist center. Inside, you'll find not only the typical tourist shop but also spaces dedicated to the city's history and terraces where you can experience the views of the city and the river. Plus, it's all completely free, so definitely worth a visit!
