Your Rating:

The port of Antwerp is one of the largest in the world and most definitely worth a visit. The port was originally situated along the river Scheldt and more in the centre of the city where you now find the so-called 'ruien en vlieten'. The first major expansion took place in the 15th and 16th centuries. Visit het Eilandje with its drawbridges and locks for a good impression of the old port. The modern port, with the largest chemical industry zone in the world, can best be seen during one of the many boat trips or just follow the Port Route (Havenroute) which takes you as far as Lillo where you have a fantastic view of the nuclear power plant in Doel on the left bank.
