Couple of nights in Antwerp
Discussion
If museums are your thing then the MAS museum (https://mas.be/en) near the docks is good for the history of the Antwerp, it's also housed in a brilliant structure. The Plantin-Moretus museum (https://museumplantinmoretus.be/en) is also very good.
Loads of bars and eateries around the main square but try and get off the beaten track a bit, some are real tourist traps. Ordering a bolleke (the local brew) never gets old and it is a great beer as far as 'standard' beers go. You can get a visitors pass which covers all the trams and they are an efficient way to get about although the old centre is very walkable, and you should as there are lots of little streets and alleys to explore. The central station is also worth a look, magnificent structure with platforms on several levels.

We went to Antwerp in the summer. Really enjoyed it
You should definitely book a tour here:-
