For those whose interests lie in incredible art and architecture, a cultural and historical Tour of Antwerp provides many visual delights. Many people enjoy a casual walking tour of the Old Towne Centre near the Boulevards, which are half-moon shaped avenues that were once the 16th century walls of the city. In the Old Towne Centre you can see the enchanting gardens and elaborate architecture of the Rubenshuis, The Rubens House museum of Peter Rubens' life and artwork. The City Hall combines fascinating Gothic and Renaissance architecture typical of many Flemish towns. The Cathedral of Our Lady is one of the most impressive Gothic cathedrals in northern Europe.
