Exploring the its cobblestone streets today, there's little evidence of the severe bombings the city endured in World War II. Today, Antwerp is known as a fashion and entertainment hub along with being the diamond capital of the world. After touring the city with AmaWaterways, there will be free time to explore on your won in the afternoon. You can also choose at this time to take in an optional excursion to Brussels, the capital of Belgium.
Ghent is another charming city you’ll visit on a Belgium river cruise with AmaWaterways. At approximately 250,000 people, the population is about half of Antwerp's. Ghent offers the quaintness of small town with the excitement of a large city. Alternatively, you can choose to go on an optional excursion to Bruges, where the historic city centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
