Antwerp is situated on the Schelde River, about 88 km from the North Sea and only 55km from Brussels. Antwerp is an essential part of an enormous harbour complex, one of the greatest in the world. The harbour installations of Antwerp grew especially after World War II.
I have been quite often in Antwerp, because it is a beautiful city, lots to see and probably the only city where a big zoo (fortunately modernized) is just besides the Train station.
