Traveler reviews
Mitr Friend
★★★★★7 years agoAntwerp is the best of places for Belgian murals. Guess why? It has 3000 sqm of murals at one place! More than 60 international graffiti artists meet up here, and the event is called 'Meeting of Styles'during Zomerfabriek event! After the event is over, the rest of the year, the murals are just there for everyone to enjoy, 24x7!!!
