The best photos of Antwerp aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Cathedral of Our Lady and MAS (Museum aan de Stroom) will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Vlaeykensgang for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
Antwerp is a city of fashion, diamonds, and Baroque art, where Rubens's legacy meets cutting-edge design in a walkable historic center along the Scheldt River.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided photography tour route in Antwerp. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Cathedral of Our Lady — home to four Rubens masterpieces including the Descent from the Cross, with a 123-meter Gothic tower dominating the skyline, MAS (Museum aan de Stroom) — a striking red sandstone tower on the waterfront with rooftop panoramas and exhibits tracing Antwerp's centuries as a global trading port, plus hidden gems like Vlaeykensgang — a hidden medieval alley connecting Oude Koornmarkt to Pelgrimstraat, one of the oldest passages in Antwerp and Cogels-Osylei — a residential street in Zurenborg with an extraordinary mix of Art Nouveau, Neo-Gothic, and eclectic townhouses.
Use this page as a starting point for a Antwerp walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Antwerp. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Antwerp attracts visitors for fashion and art, and Cathedral of Our Lady and MAS (Museum aan de Stroom) and every landmark doubles as a photography opportunity when you know where to stand and when the light is best. A photography-focused walk pays attention to reflections, leading lines, and street scenes between the landmarks. Hidden photogenic spots like Vlaeykensgang reward those who wander off the main path.
Start at Centraal Station and walk toward the river — this route takes you through the diamond quarter, shopping streets, cathedral, and waterfront in a natural flow.
May through September offers the best weather for walking, with summer bringing outdoor festivals and lively terrace culture along the Scheldt.
