Sightseeing
The MAS, a musea with art and also a star restaurant "Het Zilte" at the top of it. Good food with an incredible sight on Antwerp! If you don't have the budget you can always visit the top floor for free and enjoy the beautiful sight!
If you do fancy a meal, I suggest to lunch, it's cheaper for the same service and sight :)

Famous in Antwerp: "De voetgangerstunnel" or the pedestrian tunnel in English. Build in 1931 to bring pedestrians and bikers to the other side of de schelde. You should go to the other side trough the voetgangerstunnel and take some picture of Antwerp from across the river.
