In Flemish, Antwerpen, in French, Anvers<\/a>. This city is well known for being one of the biggest harbours in the world. As a matter of facts, it is the second biggest in Europe, after Rotterdam. It has been a very important city for the last five centuries in many ways, and despite the immense destruction suffered over various wars (and especially WWII), the city remains a pillar of trade and industry in the Benelux. It is also the capital of diamonds …
\nSince it is located in Belgium, you can expect excellent “chocolateries”, and not less good candy stores and biscuit shops.<\/p>\n

There are a few historical buildings there, but not that many, since the city has been damaged many times. Unfortunately, that also means that a lot of “modern” ones were built instead.<\/p>\n

Since my girlfriend was to spend some time there, I asked her to take some pictures :)
\nShe didn’t find the inhabitants to be very friendly or happy to be there. Even shop owners don’t smile when you enter. You get service, but not joyful faces. <\/p>\n

Here are a few photos :<\/p>\n
