More Antwerp

We walked through a Begijnhof, a little religious village behind walls for women. Most towns had one or more. Some didn't allow photos. This one did

Antwerp is known for its Art Deco buildings (and art nouveau as the train station). We had no time to get to the main area where these were but I did find this own

these mannequins were teetering on the edge of the MAG

Looking from the top of the MAG the Schelde river which we would cross underneath the next day

Inside the MAG

hipster bar we went to in an industrial area

Still lots of discarded machinery

view from inside

in Belgium and the Netherlands, if you order a particular brand of beer, it comes in its branded glass, which is forbidden allegedly in the US. Usually there would be only two or three biers op vat (on tap) unlike the multitudes here

more of the warehouse district

the next morning we biked 5 stories below the surface in the St Catherines's tunnel.not my photo. Bikes were very fast moving so I couldn't stop
After five, Antwerp became a ghost town. We walked the deserted streets trying to find a dinner place. We ate in some place that had 'burger' in the name, a bad sign. I did have some curry chicken burger which tasted fine. Too tired to do muchmore  exploring.
