3. Antwerp Zoo
Right in the center of the city, Antwerp Zoo was founded in 1843. It is widely regarded as one of the finest zoos in Europe on account of its variety of species; its success in breeding; the care bestowed on the animals, which are kept in the most natural environment possible; and, last but by no means least, its architecture.
4. Chocolate Nation
Located just across from Antwerp’s Central Station, Chocolate Nation is the largest Belgian Chocolate museum in the world. Visitors are introduced to every step of the process via a multimedia presentation and interactive exhibits, from the cocoa bean’s equatorial origins to the final product — which, of course, you can enjoy to your heart’s content via samples and the museum shop.
