The Steen is Antwerp's oldest building. It was built at the beginning of the 13th century and served as a city fortress. This impressive castle lies on the Scheldt river and is just an short walk from the Grote Markt. In the past, Het Steen was home to the Maritime Museum, later - a child-friendly meeting space with all kinds of workshops for kids.. Next to it you can find the new visitor center where you can learn everything about the history of Antwerp

Free lookout point in the new tower. (acces via the wooden door at the side ) . Also touristic centre. There is "Antwerp Experience" a tour which gives a fine introduction to the city.

because it 's along the Schelde (the river that hosts our port) and you can have a walk on a bridge along the water with view on the left bank.
