- Hey there! Get ready to join us on an epic adventure as we take you along on our day trip to Antwerp. We hopped on a Flixbus from Amsterdam, and in just two hours, we arrived in beautiful Belgium. We hit the jackpot with the weather and were able to check off almost everything on our bucket list. We walked the famous streets, explored the Rubenshuis and Plantin museum, but unfortunately missed out on visiting the Cathedral because it was closed. Nevertheless, we had an absolute blast and can't wait to share our experience with you. So relax, and enjoy the ride! Let us know what you think in the comments below.
Cheers,
DG

Finally a VLOG which is not about waffles, beer and chocolate. Very good report on what is REALLY interesting to see and do in Antwerpen! (And I live there already more than 20 years 🙂 )
Means a lot! appreciate it!
The tale about the name actually goes a tiny bit different! (I’m born and raised in Antwerp) so there is a castle next to the schelde (the river that flows through antwerp) and the legend states that there used to live a giant there. The giant was a very angry and greedy giant and he asked very high taxes to every shipper who wanted to cross the river. Obviously the people were upset and not happy, so they kinda revolted. And Brabo (the guy of the statue, a very brave guy) stood up to the giant and cut if his hand and threw it in the river. This was the city of Antwerp was freed of the giant, and the name Antwerp comes from Hand werpen, which means hand throwing ☺️
omg this is a beautiful legend! The way I found out about it was that the night before we were at our friends place and we told them that we were going to Antwerp the day after. Then my friend asked if we knew where the name came from and she told us what she remembered from the legend (you probably know how the broken phone goes), even less stuck to my head and thought that I forgot about it. Then the next day comes, we go to Antwerp and see the statue, and the hand-throwing bit pops up in my mind suddenly, so there was no time to google the tale, but it's really nice to know now. Thanks a lot for commenting it here. much love
When I look at your vlogs I always have a feeling that I'm looking at myself in the future and I always think that God please give Dea the opportunity to see as many interesting places as possible.💁🏽♀
You are the sweetest 💘🥹🥹🥹🫶
I use this station 5 days a week to work. love Antwerp like crazy. what a town. beautiful station.
I really love your vlog style. I can't stand when travel vloggers talk with the camera facing them the entire time, like we clicked on it to see their face instead of the destination. Thanks for sharing this beautiful travel destination!
Man I miss Antwerp so much. I lived there for half a year and I really would like to go back.
As someone who has lived in Antwerp their whole life, it's quite cool to see it from an outside perspective.
After a while of living there, u tend to only see the bad and u start forgetting to see the city's beauty.
Very cool video , made me just a good bit more appreciative of my own city. Keep it up !
Makes me so happy! Thank u💘
I have to save this travel list for future 📝🤍❤️🔥🌸🥰
💗✨✨
I’ve been feeling so nostalgic for Antwerp lately (I was there this year for Erasmus for half a year) and I’m so glad that RUclips recommended me this video!!
Love your vlog, first video of yours that I saw! I go to school in Antwerp and have spent lots of time walking the same streets you did so it feels very familiar watching this video 💜💜💜
💖💖 Thank you✨
Me to
I like Antwerp very much and I live in the neighbourhood, 32minutes travelling by train. The Engel is my favourite café in Antwerp. Most of the time we look at books and enjoy the atmosphere of the city.
Its fun to see and hear tourists talk about your city's culture and history. Next time when your in belgium u should also visit Gent, I'm a true "Antwerpenaar" but its hard to deny Gent being the most beautiful city in belgium. And lastly, if you drink alcohol then you should definitely go hard on our beers haha! They're truly amazing and it's something we belgians are very proud of
Regarding Gent, we were also discussing to visit at the earliest opportunity, although I don't think that anything can bit Bruges for me. When it comes to beer, personally I just don't like beer so I cannot fully appreciate it, but David tried 10 different Belgian beers (a big beer lover) I think and he was saying that it was the most amazing beer he's ever had each time :D
@@deagogishvilieng Gent is like bruges on steroids! 😁
@@IrohsTeaShop lol
Is 1 day enough to see gent? I’m going for 8 days to Amsterdam & Belgium but still trying to figure out the day distribution 😅
What a cute and stunning girl you are,Dea!!
Many thanks
Thanks for visiting! Lovely to see a good video about our city. 🍻🍻🍻
Makes me happy to hear! It was a pleasure
BTW: What we are really missing out on in Antwerpen: Good Georgian food! I would love to be able to eat Kinkali , Kachapuri , Kharcho soup and all the other delicacies!
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the comment! You should do the opposite and come to Amsterdam, we have a small Georgian restaurant here called Batoni Khinkali. Not sure if they have Kharcho, but they have Khinkali and small Atcharuli Khachapuri, super tasty! made my day
@@deagogishvilieng I got the taste for it when i was responsible for Russia in my job. Nowadays there are good Georgian restaurants in Poland and Lituania and probably other Eastern countries too.. but not yet Belgium.. 😢
you can going to Holland, thye eat broodje kroket, the rest they eat is fat
👍Nice video, thanks for sharing your inspiration with us. Keep up the good work. 🙂
😍😍

The yellow drink you had is called Elixir d'Anvers. It has been made according to the same recipe that was devised in 1863 using 32 different plants and herbs.
wow! thanks for the info, David wanted to buy it before leaving, but we couldn't find it in the store sadly
@@deagogishvilieng you can find it anywhere
loved it
Did u ever ho to abdijstraat its an street with alot of shops and the 4th august ,5th august ,6th august there will be an braderij with cool things and stuffs its a very beautiful place to go and it has an shopping center called dentir
Great to know! Thanks
To avoid at all costs! It’s no longer the street with beautiful typical Belgian shops. It’s full of Maroccan shops. No Flemish shops anymore at all!
The neighbourhood is called ‘Het Kiel’ and it looks more like Marrakesh than the good old and safe place it used to be.
All the nice Antwerp shopping streets like de Offerandestraat, Carnotstraat, Turnhoutsebaan, Van Kerckhovenstraat, Handelsstraat… are gone. Only Turkish and Maroccan shops.
Antwerp is no langer the town where my mother used to take me on Wednesday or Sunday afternoons. Where we enjoined what we saw and we felt safe amongst the people. More than half the population of the city is alien. Belgians are outcast now.
@@gromit3315 Lol overdrijver.
@@PJH2018 haha… een vriendje van de Grote Leider, zie ik. Daarom geil je zo 😄 Wat jij nu in Antwerpen ziet vindt je normaal. Er was een tijd, nog niet zo lang geleden zelfs, dat al de straten die ik opnoemde, mooie handelszaken hadden. Als je geen vreemdeling bent heb je er nu niks meer te zoeken.
💘💘
🥰🥰
❤️❤️
💘💘
you should really check out the thrift store's! especially think twice(there are 3 of those), episode, riot, kilo shop,...
Oh I saw a few really nice vintage shops on the way but we didn’t have time to check them out, I think vintage is a trip-worthy activity itself so thanks a lot for sharing nice spots💘💘
I was there in the same week that you but I didn't see you:(
Can you tell me please if there a lot of tourists theses days ?
It depends, usually it's fine during the workdays, weekends are always busy, especially if it's a good weather
@@deagogishvilieng thank youuu :)
what is the name for perfume shop?
Le Labo
Plantin during the roman empire? haha woops
he was only wrong with 1000 years or so lol
Vive la Belgique grande et belle
Only Flemish part, actually.
Love from pakistan
16th century isn't roman empire tho xD.
You missed sint jans plein
We missed many things, because we just walked on the same street 100 times, while making the list we didn't really take into account their spacial distribution :D
is that a joke? Zorengburg is the place to go
@@deagogishvilieng Dw that was actually a joke haha. Yeah things are quite far apart from eachother sadly. If you ever come back i'd suggest a bike to move around :)
@@harrymac5229 I heard the GraanPloets is also pretty cool
You missed the real cuisine, the city with the most Michelin stars restaurants… you did not try anyone :/
Are Michelin restaurants really the best though? My experience is the opposite though, but which ones would you recommend?
@@deagogishvilieng you still in Antwerp?
@@Leonard1102 no but I'm not far
@@deagogishvilieng Kommilfoo, Restaurant Nebo, Restaurant Nage, Try Bizie Lizie. :)
Many thanks!
