Walking Tour Big five Rubens' churches (audio)
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 symbolizes the Rubens walk of fame. I am sure you will be amazed by the stunning pieces of art of Rubens that you will discover!

The Sint-Andrieschurch was very special to Peter Paul Rubens. After his return from Italy, he stayed here for a while in a parish and started his imposing career in Antwerp. The location of the church symbolizes the start of Rubens in Antwerp. That's why this tour starts here. Normally you can enter the church from 9.00-12.00 and 14.00-17.00.
The Vlaaiskensgang is one of the best hidden gems of Antwerp. Discover some very small and characteristic streets in the busy area of Antwerp. Very nice to make some pictures!
This church is the crown jewel of the city! Listen to the story i will tell and you understand the story about the lying statue of Nello and his dog Patrasche. If you decide to go inside, you will see some beautiful paintings of Peter Paul Rubens.
