The old city
Many of the splendid architectural highlights can be found in the Old City, which was established in the 16th century. It encompasses the area around the Cathedral of Our Lady and the Grote Markt. The Vlaeykensgang is an example of the picturesque medieval streets. The golden age of Antwerp can also be found in the numerous paintings of Peter Paul Rubens who lived in Antwerp in the early 17th century. The destruction caused by WWI and WWII impacted the vitality of the Old City, but recent renovation projects have restored it to its former grandeur.Nightlife
