Antwerp

Anyone been to Antwerp with P & O?

Not with P&O ....but have spent a weekend in Antwerp. Lovely place. Well worth a visit.

Yes agree. Lovely city. Very easy to DIY. Don't miss the railway station. It's stunning. The cathedral plays a carillion at certain times. It's wonderful.

Can you walk into the city from the port or do you require a shuttle bus?

Yes an easy walk. You dock next to the fortress and the old part of the city.

It depends where they berth, when we were last October we had a shuttle into the city.

Agree it is easy to do on your own once you are there.

Ah yes, I thought I'd been there with P&O but mistaken! The cruise terminal can't be used if a ship's draft is too deep.... then Leopolddok 228 is used. Here's a link to some photos of Oriana's visit last year.

Anyone been to Antwerp with P & O?

Not with P&O but we lived in Antwerp for 9 years. A wonderful city, so much to see and do. Easy to discover on foot. The birthplace of Rubens, full of culture and amazing restaurants. The place to buy diamonds, visit great museums and admire the architecture or just sit in one of the many cafes enjoying a Belgian beer.

Here is a link to a good website http://www.visitantwerpen.be/walking-en The first place to do a flash mob advert - the sound of music in the grand railway building gives you a glimpse of this fine place

Enjoy your visit.
