Antwerp, Belgium: Unexpected Gems

The most ornate elevated train I have ever seen
We went to Antwerp without knowing much about the city, so everything was unexpectedly pleasant! The people were nice. The buildings were beautiful. The food was decent. Basically, it was exactly what I hoped a mid-sized European city would be with the highlight of Art Deco additions to many of the older stone houses.
