Traveler reviews
C M
★★★★★5 years agoDefinitely worth to see. Absolutely enother atmosphere. Like you find another city. However a lot of houses need gardener.
Kevin Boon
★★★★★5 years agoOne of the most beautiful places in Antwerp, a lot of expensive houses along the whole street with beautiful design. Worth it just to be shocked that this isn't such a tourist spot.
