Experience the rich history of Antwerp, Belgium’s strategic heart, in our World War tour.

Discover the stories behind the first civilian air raid, Churchill’s 1914 visit, the infamous Big Bertha, the V1 and V2 rockets, and the tragic fate of Belgium’s largest Jewish community. We’ll also visit war-inspired art and monumental buildings that rose from the ruins.
