Grote Markt, Antwerp, Antwerp Province, 2000

The Basics

Brabo Fountain’s iconic status, and prime position in Antwerp’s most impressive central square, means that it’s a regular fixture on plenty of sightseeing tours, which typically combine it with the 17th-century Carolus Borromeus Church and former home of the famous Baroque painter, Ruben’s House. Visit at your own pace on a hop-on hop-off city sightseeing bus tour; delve deeper into the city’s rich history and heritage on a walking tour; or learn more about its fantastical legends on a tour that focuses on stories and folklore.
