Antwerpen
Arts & Culture
The MAS museum is one of the youngest museums of Antwerp. It is dedicated to ‘de Schelde’, the river of the city. A must visit not only for the beautiful exhibitions but the roof terrace has a magnificent view on the city and the harbour.
This museum boosts also a fine dining restaurant (3* michelin !) at the top floor and a very nice brasserie on the ground floor.
If you do not wish to visit the art exhibitions, just go to the top terrace for the amazing view on the city.

A visit here is not only recommended for kids because of the animals. The zoo of Antwerp is a true botanical gem with beautiful trees and plants that have been growing here for decades. The art deco buildings are also beautiful. Always a good idea to visit, even for a walk in the early evening when the crowds are gone. One of my favorite places in Antwerp.
