Next, the group visits Museum Vleeshuis, a former guildhouse over 500 years old that now houses a collection of musical instruments. The walk continues to Grote Markt, the main square and historic center of the city. From there, the tour proceeds to Carolus Borromeus Church, a Roman Catholic church with a notable facade located on a small square. The next stop is the Boerentoren, known as Europe's first skyscraper. Afterward, the guide leads the group through Vlaeykensgang, a well-preserved 16th-century alley near the cathedral and city hall. The tour ends at the Cathedral of Our Lady, a building constructed over 170 years. Throughout the walk, the guide offers personal recommendations for bars, restaurants, museums, and events in Antwerp. A small surprise is given at the end.
