Vlaaikensgang
A bit more about the Vlaaikensgang
The Vlaaikensgang is without doubt one of the most charming places in Antwerp. You’ll have to look for Oude Korenmarkt 16.
Entering the Vlaaikensgang is like going back in time.
The Vlaaikensgang dates from 1591. In this narrow alley used to live shoemakers. They also had the task to chime the alarm bell in the cathedral in case of fire and danger.
In the ’60s, there were plans to knock everything down to create a parking lot. Luckily antique dealer Alex Vervoordt bought the property and saved it from the sledgehammer.
Today it’s the most popular place to listen to the carillon concerts and the location of top restaurant Sir Anthony Van Dycke.
