Planning your time in Antwerp
🚊It's an easy train from Brussels! They run often, so you don't need to book in advance.
🚎 Pretty much all transport stops running at midnight, so don't get caught by surprise! This includes trains and streetcars, but also taxis.
💶 Belgium is part of the EU and uses the Euro. Almost everywhere takes card, but keep some cash in case you stop at a food truck.
🗣️ In Belgium, they speak both French and Flemish (similar to Dutch). Antwerp is on the Flemish side, so you'll hear that most. But everyone speaks English, so you'll be fine!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Emma | Where's Emma Now

Amateur Italian, travel advisor, and adventurous eater!
I’m a travel creative living in small town northern Italy, and I've been planning travel for over 15 years. I've lived on three continents and visited over 40 countries, so I'm passionate about helping travelers experience the best of a location, no matter where!
I love both/and travel: I want to see the big sights AND the local hangouts, the big cities AND the small towns. I’d love to help you do it too!
If you’re going to Rome for the first time, you don’t need me to tell you to see the Colosseum. But you might want me to tell you if it’s better as a guided tour or on your own, what add-on’s are worth the money, and what are the extra secret things your ticket can get you!
My favorite part of travel is eating well: finding the local haunts, tasting a new wine, and trying the local dishes. Amazing food doesn't have to be expensive: sometimes the best of a place is in the street food! But if it is a splurge, I'll make sure it's worth every penny.
I'd love to work with you to create the trip of your dreams!
