Antwerp has a great choice of high quality private international schools and high schools, beautiful nearby countryside, lots of activities and excellent housing - with a fantastic range of different property to call home, from Belgium mansions and estates, villas and bungalows to new build executive housing, family townhouses and apartments.

"Antwerp lays claim to being the de facto capital of Flemish Belgium, boosting its credentials with an animated cultural scene, a burgeoning fashion industry, and more top-ranking cafés and restaurants than you could possibly sample alongside a spirited nightlife. The city fans out carelessly from the east bank of the Scheldt, its centre a rough polygon formed and framed by its enclosing boulevards and the river. Recent efforts to clean and smarten the centre have been tremendously successful, revealing scores of beautiful buildings previously camouflaged. There is a dense concentration of things to enjoy in Antwerp, not least some fine churches, including a simply wonderful cathedral, and a varied selection of excellent museums." Rough Guides

Antwerp is right in the north of Belgium, meeting The Netherlands at the top. It’s also not too far from the coast, with the river Scheidt running through the centre. Nearby towns and cities include Ghent, Brussels, Sint-Niklass and The Netherland’s town of Breda.

Gin is from Antwerp! The popular spirit evolved from the “jenever” or “dutch gin”. This is where the phrase “Dutch Courage” comes from, as British Soldiers drank gin before heading into battle during the thirty years war.
