To recover from my Heideggerian confrontation with "das Sein-zum-Tode", I visit this small town. Right across the market square, there's a bakery that sells the best comfort food in the world. My tummy already hurts from looking at all those real Belgian chocolate treats. Legendary!

De Studio is the creative headquarters of Antwerp, where people can be spectator and artist at the same time. You can come here for dance, theater and interesting parties. 

The best coffee place in Antwerp with a great interior designed by Petillon-Ceuppens Architects.

You can find second hand designer clothes here. With an especially  great selection of Belgian brands like Raf Simons and Dries van Noten, Stephan Schneider, Christian Wijnants... 

My favorite jewelry brand in Belgium. They have a beautiful shop too!
