Do your clients love experiences full of luxury, beauty and splendour? Then Antwerp, a city of fashion, diamonds and fine dining is an excellent choice for their next city break.
Diamonds & fashion
Diamond capital
Antwerp has been well-known as the world's diamond capital for centuries. Almost all of the world's diamonds pass through Antwerp at least once. What is more, 86% of all rough diamonds and 50% of all polished diamonds pass through Antwerp. Nowhere else in the world can claim to have such a close connection between humans and diamonds. There are many ways in which your clients will discover this, such in the DIVA | Antwerp Home of Diamonds Museum, on a guided walk through the diamond district or while browsing in contemporary jewellers.
Antwerp’s Most Brilliant
Of course, Antwerp is also the perfect place to buy jewellery. Antwerp is the world's first city to offer a quality label for jewellers, Antwerp's Most Brilliant. This label assures your clients that the jewellers meet strict quality standards on sustainability, transparency, and safety.
Fashion
Antwerp is a must-see for any fashion fan. It boasts one of the world's leading fashion academies and is the home of the world-famous Antwerp Six. Besides flagship stores of Dries Van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester, Christian Wijnants, and others, there are also many cool labels and independent designers to be found here. For the full immersion experience in the fashion city of Antwerp, arrange a guided tour around the city for your clients during the Fashion Walk.
