About Antwerp
Antwerp is a major port on the River Scheldt, known for its Gothic cathedral and Renaissance guild houses. Ocean cruise ships berth on the riverbank beside Het Steen, the old castle on the edge of the historic centre, so the Main Market Square (Grote Markt) and the cathedral are an easy walk from the ship. The Eilandje docks with the MAS museum lie a short walk north.
