Het Steen

Where’s a good place to start to get to know Antwerp? One of the best must surely be the city’s oldest preserved building, located on the banks of the Scheldt. Het Steen has stood there since the early 13th century as the gatehouse of an immense castle. Today, this historic gem serves as the lively visitors’ centre of the City. With The Antwerp Story, you travel through history room by room and get to know Antwerp’s neighbourhoods, museums and famous people. Your tour ends on the roof terrace with fantastic views over the Scheldt and the city. Then drop by the Visitors’ Centre for tips or to pick up a walking or cycle route, and then: into the city!
