Museum Vleeshuis
As the former Butcher's Hall and oldest guild house in the city, Museum Vleeshuisi now tells a different story of sound, music and dance.

7
Antwerp's Red Light District
Despite its function, the Red Light District is a safe area to walk around at night, though there are still some “spicy” secrets to share. On the guest’s request, this part of the tour can be skipped.
