Overview

Antwerp is not just Belgium's second city on one of it's finest art cities, it is also the country's most strategic city. With the biggest port of the country and the big river providing easy and fast access to the North Sea the city played a major role in both world wars. For a brief couple of weeks during the first world war it even became the nation's capital when Brussels was given up.

During this tour we'll cover the most important events and locations from both wars. You'll learn about the first civilian air raid, why Churchill was here in 1914, Big Bertha, the V1 and V2 and what happened to the biggest Jewish community in the country. We'll see art dedicated to the wars and monumental buildings that replaced war ruines.

If you're into World War history, whether it's the first or the second, this tour is for you.
