Yes, there is a market on Saturday and Sunday at Blauwtorenplein. It%26#39;s close to Britselei.



Antwerp is indeed a romantic place with culture. Museums, architecture, art, history. It%26#39;s all there.





Taxi: check out http://www.taxi2airport.be They charge 35 euro single or 65 euro return for private transport for 2 pax. You can also book a shared taxi which is cheaper.

thanks for your reply, how much is the beer and food over there?

Depends from what you want. Special beers (trappist, abbey beers, ...) are more expensive than pilsner. I%26#39;d say anywhere between 1.60 and 3.50 euro.



Food: same here. You can have a simple cone of fries with mayo for less than 2 euro. Let%26#39;s say that a good 3-course menu will cost between 30 and 50 euro (without drinks).

cheers mate, can`t wait to get .



will the weather be the same as here ? don`t mind the cold , don`t really like the rain

Yes, I%26#39;m afraid the weather is about the same as in the U.K. We also get our share of rain ... unfortunately.
