At the Wapper you visit the Rubens House. With your guide you enter the dwelling and workshop of Antwerp’s most famous citizen, the artist PP Rubens. In this unique urban mansion with a lovely renaissance garden he lived with his family and he created numerous immortal works.
That art elevates the soul will be proved by a visit to Our Lady’s Cathedral. At the outside the old lady presents herself as magnificent stone lacework, inside she is a shrine holding impressive treasures of art, among which four grand paintings by Rubens.
The tour ends on the Market Square, the most beautiful square in the historical city. Don’t be surprised if you’ve lost your heart to Rubens and Antwerp after this experience.
