VHENY's travel guide
Visiting Antwerp
Come for a diamond, and stay for the city of diamonds, fashion, history and art.
Visiting us at VHENY Diamonds in Antwerp is a fantastic experience. Not only will you glimpse the life behind the curtains of the world's greatest diamond centre — you will also be staying in beautiful Antwerp: a city of diamonds, fashion, history and art.
Antwerp is a charming, cosmopolitan capital that will surprise you with its versatility. As one of Europe's oldest and largest ports it drew great wealth through the ages; in the sixteenth century it was among the most important financial capitals of the world, and a major centre of art thanks to the Antwerp School — Rubens, Van Dyck, Jordaens and so many others.
That long, rich history still shows in countless monuments and a strong artistic spirit. Today the city is renowned just as much for fashion: its Royal Academy of Arts and the avant-garde "Antwerp Six" made it a name every lover of fashion knows.
