Het Steen
Het Steen is a surviving riverside fortress with a visitor centre beside the Scheldt. Its stone exterior gives the waterfront a visible link to older Antwerp.
Start at the riverfront to see how the fortress anchors this stretch of the Scheldt. The building also houses visitor services, making it useful for orienting a first visit to Antwerp. Enjoy the exterior independently, and check current opening information if you want to enter the visitor centre.
