Information on the town Antwerp is the second largest city of Belgium. The 500.000 inhabitants call it the 'Metropolis' (People in Antwerp are known in Belgium for their ‘modesty’). Antwerp has the second largest harbor of Europe (after Rotterdam). Apart from that, Antwerp is a city with numerous architectural highlights. Most of the highlights date from the 16th (the golden era of Antwerp) and the 17th century. Unfortunately parts of the old town’s fair face have been destructed during the Second World War. City-renewal too took its toll. However, there are still enough monuments left for those who like “monument-hopping”. Antwerp is also known for its 17 century painters amongst whom the most famous are Peter Paul Rubens and Antoon (Anthony) Van Dyck. Antwerp is the diamond center of the World. The diamond district is located next to the Central Railway Station. This area is also known as the Jewish part of the city. The presence of many 'Chassidic' Jewish people gives the city a flair which can’t be found in other Belgian cities. Today Antwerp is considered one of the important fashion cities of the world thanks to the efforts of numerous fashion designers ( e.g.: Walter Van Beirendonck, Nadine Wynants, Ann De Meulemeester, Dirk Bikkembergs, Kaat Tilley and others). The fashion area of Antwerp is situated near the Meir shopping street. You can also visit the ‘Mode Natie’, the fashion museum in Antwerp (Nationalestraat 28). If you got some spare time you might visit the museum Mayer-Van den berg (Lange Gasthuisstraat, 19), a ‘gentleman’s collection’ from the 19th century. Fritz Van den Bergh (second half of the 19th century) collected artworks that were considered to be ‘less interesting’ in his time. He died young and his mother built him a sixteenth century style museum as a shrine for his commemoration. Up to you to judge his choices wet 21st Century eyes. Its a great place to visit. For those of you who like Brueghel the visit is obligatory as the ‘Dulle Griet’ by Piet Breughel the Elder is the masterpiece in his collection. (google ‘mayer van den bergh’ to find out more about this collection).

Information on the Lindner Hotel & City Lounge Located close to Antwerp’s central station and in the diamond quarter, the Lindner Hotel & City Lounge is a four-star hotel. The hotel is in the proximity of the Antwerp’s city centre. The seminar starts on Wednesday, December 1st at 13 h 30 (registration). We booked some extra hotel rooms for Tuesday night, November 30th, for colleagues who come flying in from further away and wish to arrive a day earlier. If so, please let us know.

Information on how to get to Antwerp. The hotel is next to the Antwerp Central Station. We strongly advise you to come by train. The train terminal at Brussels National Airport (Zaventem) is situated on the -2 level of the Airport. You can take a direct train from the airport to Antwerp Central (which would take you about 40 minutes). You also have the possibility to take the train to the station of Brussel Zuid (Bruxelles Midi) and then take an Antwerp bound train. Try to get an IC-train. Trains labelled IR or L are local trains and take far more time to get to Antwerp Central. o o
