Antwerp is regarded as being not quite a big city or town, but somewhere in between. Tipping in restaurants is not customary in The Diamond Capital, but of course is always appreciated. In restaurants and bars, tap water is not used for drinking purposes and drinking / bottled water is usually not free. Antwerp public restrooms typically are coin-operated. Most stores close on Sundays and grocery stores close relatively early on weekends. As with many European hubs, cyclists are numerous on Antwerp streets. Generally a safe place, Antwerp does experience petty crime at times. Keep in mind that police / ambulance can be reached at the telephone number 112. Antwerp’s currency is the Euro and cars travel on the right-hand side of the road. Technically there is no legal drinking age in Belgium. though it is illegal to serve beer to anyone under 16, and spirits to anyone under 18. Antwerp accommodations are some of Northwestern Europe’s best. Before we get to Antwerp accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Archaeological excavations near the Scheldt River suggest that humans have inhabited the Antwerp area since at least the 2nd century. At that time, Antwerp was settled by Germanic Franks. During Roman times, Antwerp existed as a Gallo-Roman vicus, or village within a rural area. A Catholic missionary of Flanders, Saint Amand evangelized Antwerp during the 7th-century Merovingian dynasty. During the 9th-century Carolingian period, the medieval fortress Het Steen traces its foundation on account of Viking incursions. A gateway to the larger Dukes of Brabant castle (Tervuren Castle), Het Steen was expanded and completed between 1200 and 1225. The Scheldt River had become a Holy Roman Empire natural border by the end of the 10th century, with Antwerp serving as a margraviate circa 980. Under German emperor Otto II, the boundary near Antwerp separated the Holy Roman Empire from the County of Flanders. which was ruled by France. Leader of the First Crusade, Godfrey of Bouillon was Margrave of Antwerp from 1076 until his death in 1100. German Catholic bishop Norbert of Xanten established a community of Premonstratensian canons at St. Michael’s Abbey circa the 12th century. King of England Edward III and Flemish statesman Jacob van Artevelde conducted diplomatic relations in Antwerp during the 14th century. City magistrates ordered an edict against false diamonds circa 1447. In 1456-Antwerp, Lodewyk van Bercken invented the sceif, a rotating disk used to polish diamonds. Between 1500 and 1569 Antwerp’s population had doubled, largely due to Bruges’ decline on account of the Zwin reserve’s silting-up. From there, trading houses moved from Bruges to Antwerp. The Portuguese established Antwerp as a major shipping base by 1504. Early Portuguese trade through the city was robust and involved cloth, wine, salt, silver, wheat, soap, fish, sugar, pepper and cinnamon. In 1531, the Antwerp Stock Exchange opened. During the mid-16th century, Antwerp was flush with sugar refineries, money lenders and an abundance of painters. This “Golden Age” saw Antwerp become one of the largest European cities north of the Alps. Inflation, along with a drop in skilled labor, saw Portuguese merchants leave the city by 1549, around which time Amsterdam replaced Antwerp as the area’s leading trading center. During the Dutch Golden Age, Antwerp banking was controlled by Genoa. By 1800, Antwerp’s population had dropped to around 40,000. Realizing the port’s strategic importance, Napoleon enlarged the harbor and built a new dock so that larger ships could dock. The 1832 Siege of Antwerp between France and United Netherlands resulted in a French victory. Antwerp hosted 3 million people at the Antwerp International Exposition in 1894, along with the World Gymnastics Championships circa 1903. During World War I, Antwerp was taken by the German Army following the 11-day Siege of Antwerp. After an Armistice, Antwerp hosted the 1920 Summer Olympics. Nazi Germany took control of Antwerp on May 18, 1940. Following World War II, Antwerp’s “Ten Year Plan” (1956–1965) helped the city connect to new satellite communications. Fashion helped redefine Antwerp during the 1990s, around which time the “Antwerp Six” Belgian fashion designers would receive international fame.

Also spelled Antwerpen, Antwerp is home to around 530,000 Antwerpenarens. Friendly yet reserved, Antwerp inhabitants generally understand and speak English quite well. The apex of Antwerp’s skyline is Antwerp Tower, which rises 330 feet. Antwerp’s cruise terminal is located at Steenplein near Het Steen. Thousands of diamond companies / dealers are based in Antwerp on account of the city’s 500-year legacy in the diamond trade. Antwerp’s biggest diamond-industry companies include Rosy Blue, HB Antwerp, Ajediam and Bonas. Historically the city has handled over 80% of the world’s rough diamonds and over half of the world’s polished diamonds. Home to an oceanic climate, Antwerp experiences cool winters and warm summers. Frequent yet light precipitation occurs throughout the year. Local foods include Belgian frites (fries), Moules-frites (steamed mussels & fries), stoofvlees (beef & dark beer stew – fries), biscuits, candies, chocolate truffles and pralines. Popular drinks are amber ale and Dutch gin (genever). With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Antwerp accommodations that are sure to inspire.
