Groenplaats

One of the biggest squares in the city, Groenplaats is the perfect starting point for visitors of the historic centre, and gets quite busy during the summer tourist season. You'll enjoy numerous cafe terraces and restaurants. Street musicians provide background music, and the pubs provide great Belgian beers (drink with moderation). You must try a Bolleke Koninck, a light brown ale which is brewed in Antwerp. Nearby you'll find cute copper, pewter and lace shops, the Fnac bookstore, the Hilton and the Cathedral.
