Immerse Yourself in Antwerp's Diversity in the Jewish Quarter and Seefhoek

Antwerp is a city full of contrasts, and this walking tour celebrates Antwerp's diversity. An engaging city guide takes you to Seefhoek and the Jewish neighborhood.

Seefhoek is one of the most multicultural and perhaps notorious neighborhoods in Antwerp. But don't be deterred by its negative image. Seefhoek surprises with cozy spots, colorful shops, and the ambiance of all the cultures living together. Your knowledgeable guide will tell you all about daily life in Seefhoek and the challenges of residing in this neighborhood.

Afterward, you stroll through Antwerp's Jewish quarter. Experience the atmosphere of the Antwerp Jewish community and learn about their traditions. During the walk, you'll also enjoy four snacks: Jewish, Portuguese, Chinese, and Turkish delights. The portions are sufficient to replace lunch.

This tour is perfect for those who want to discover the most fascinating and colorful neighborhoods of Antwerp in a fun and tasty way.
