As far as medievil city goes Antwerpen (Antwerp for non flemish) is quite a nice port town.

This has so uch history built into the walls (and river). A great place to take a strole and look at the liners if any are in port. However, it can become deserted in the evenings and a hangout for young people drinking. More

The port is what made Antwerp great ! So have a visiting tour with for example a Flandria boat and relax while looking at the activity alongside the port. More

I really like the port (I like ports) but it's probably better not to go there at night since some parts are quite lonely then. However in the streets close to the port (the 'Kaaien') there are some nice restaurants and it's not far from the centre of town. I really love the port in summer, it's great in that... More

We came in on a Fred Olsen cruise and you can walk to everything from the port -- its a great base location for touring Antwerp! Plus its in a very safe area! You should feel comfortable walking around here at any time of day! More

If you are interested in doing something different other than looking at buildings and churches and crowds, I can highly recommend the boat cruise of Antwerp's Port. It is an absolutely HUGE place. The cruise took you around the different sections of this working harbour. Really great afternoon out. Suits all ages. Totally fascinating to see the port in action... More
