Overview

I made a very personal and flexible audio tour, which you can do in your own pace (it is a selfguided audio tour). One of the most important figures in the history of Antwerp is Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640), the famous master painter that brought the baroque renaissance style from Italy to Belgium. His influence has shaped the city as it is today. I will take you on a trip that anchors Rubens life in your mind. You will get to know a lot of about the legend of Antwerp. The central idea behind this tour are the five churches that connects the life and work of Rubens. It symbolises the Rubens walk of fame. I am sure you will be amazed by the stunning pieces of art of Rubens that you will discover!
