ZONE 1 : CENTRAL STATION

Antwerp and diamonds: two concepts that have been closely related for over 500 years. The world's largest diamond center covers less than one square kilometer near Central Station along the Vestingstraat, Rijfstraat and Hoveniersstraat axis. Opposite Central Station is Antwerp's "China Town", located in Van Wesenbekestraat. This area contains a variety of specialized stores and supermarkets selling Chinese, Thai and other exotic foods and products.
