Tacheles.

What makes Antwerp your favourite place? It’s my home town so I’m rather curious about your reasons for liking it so much.

I studied in Antwerp this past summer (at UFSIA) and fell in love with the city. Something about how it’s a decent-sized city with a very small-town feel….reminded me a lot of my small town in America. It was also in a nice central location to travel to a lot of places (I took day trips to Amsterdam, Paris, Brussells, Ghent, Brugges, etc.)The people were so friendly, the buildings were beautiful, and nothing beats an afternoon of shopping on the Meir Smile
