One of the most beautiful squares I’ve ever seen! Brabo’s monument and the buildings behind are making the square unique! That place is surrounded by cafes, bars, and restaurants. So you can enjoy the place sitting down and sipping your drinks!

Remarkable Fountain located in a very nice square in the middle of Antwerp! Very photogenic and surrounded by nice cafes with possibility to have drinks or food at the terrace.

Right in the middle of Grote Markt and infront of the Antwerp City Hall. Impossible to miss. Even in the age of skyscrapers, this public square is awe inspiring and I can't imagine how it would have appeared to people when it was first constructed. Area gets very crowded.

Here's to the legend! Such a wonderful story from what I remember of it. In short: the hands of a tyrant giant were cut off and thrown into the river. Apparently, this is how the city got its name. Antwerpen is a derivation of Hand Werpen (Hand Throwing). The sport never really caught on and did not make it to the Olympics. The statue (fountain) shows us the guy throwing away one of the hands. Another popular reminder of the story are the chocolate hands sold in many shops here. Belgium is famous for its chocolate. Antwerp for the hands. One and one makes two. Many tourists come here to take pictures of the lovely square with its old buildings, great statue ans lovely atmos. The statue is often covered in children climbing it. Hopefully, you will be able to take a picture without all those unwanted others on it.

Stunning architecture in the surrounding area and a magnificent sculpture. Plenty of restaurants and souvenir stores nearby. It's beautiful to wander through the narrow streets in the area, especially in the morning. Very close to the huge cathedral.
