jeanlyon Posted August 23, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Yes agree. Lovely city. Very easy to DIY. Don't miss the railway station. It's stunning. The cathedral plays a carillion at certain times. It's wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecuador Posted August 23, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Can you walk into the city from the port or do you require a shuttle bus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsTW Posted August 24, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Can you walk into the city from the port or do you require a shuttle bus? Yes an easy walk. You dock next to the fortress and the old part of the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somerset Cruiser Posted August 24, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Yes an easy walk. You dock next to the fortress and the old part of the city. It depends where they berth, when we were last October we had a shuttle into the city. Agree it is easy to do on your own once you are there.

The cruise terminal can't be used if a ship's draft is too deep.... then Leopolddok 228 is used. Here's a link to some photos of Oriana's visit last year. http://cruiseshipsinantwerp.be/en---oriana.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenisawake Posted August 29, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Anyone been to Antwerp with P & O? Not with P&O but we lived in Antwerp for 9 years. A wonderful city, so much to see and do. Easy to discover on foot. The birthplace of Rubens, full of culture and amazing restaurants. The place to buy diamonds, visit great museums and admire the architecture or just sit in one of the many cafes enjoying a Belgian beer. Here is a link to a good website http://www.visitantwerpen.be/walking-en The first place to do a flash mob advert - the sound of music in the grand railway building gives you a glimpse of this fine place Enjoy your visit.
