Think I have finally plumped on Antwerp to take the missus to in the new year? Anyone been? Is it any good???

Thinking of getting the Eurostar there - is this the cheapest way?

And staying here

or here

Any other suggestions of cheapish hotels/b&b's? No more than 70 EUR per night...

And any 'must see/do's' when there?

I've heard the W&LT shop is worth a look......

A user called Divo on another board put together this google map of Antwerp's hotspots, geared towards pretty expensive clothing but definitely worth a look

BUMP.

Will be visiting Antwerp at the end of this month. Any recommendations for a hotel or b&b? Tiger's links are cool but will only stay there for a day (though I could still decide to spend 2 days there).

Don't want to spend much on accommodation as I want to go shopping.

cheers.

fashion week the first week of august, so you could have a right touch. stay in the hilton, its rite in the square, and if you search around hard enuff you can get a room for peanuts.
