Jewish Antwerp

Meet your private guide and start your walking tour of Antwerp. Together with your expert guide you will discover the heritages and culture of the Jewish community that has a very special place in this town. Antwerp’s Jewish district is surely one of the world’s main hubs for the production of diamonds. During your walk you will walk by the shops and buildings of a very identifiable Jewish community to the main Antwerp’s Jewish Heritage: Pelikaanstraat and the diamond district, also known as “Pelikan”, “Yiddish Town” or Shtetl, a Yiddish term for village or small town. During the tour you will also learn more about the dark period of the persecution of the Jews during the Second World War. The balance of the day is to enjoy Antwerp on your own.
