What are the 5 most stunning restaurants in Antwerp? What are the 5 most surprising sculptures in the Middelheim open-air museum? What are the 5 best swimming pools in the city? What are the 5 best tram rides and where can you discover the 5 most secret streets? The 500 Hidden Secrets of Antwerp reveals these good-to-know addresses and many, many more. It is an affectionate guide to the city. Derek Blyth writes about the 500 places and details in Antwerp that few people know, like the secluded garden of the Rockox house or art cinema Klappei. Some are places to visit, others are bits of information, for example on famous people who were born in Antwerp (Panamarenko, Pieter Paul Rubens...) The aim is not to cover the city form A to Z, but to inspire. The book also contains a number of maps, on which you can find all the numbered locations. This is a book for visitors who want to avoid the usual tourist spots and for residents who are keen to track down the city's best-kept secrets. Derek Blyth is a Scottish writer who has lived in Brussels for the past 21 years. Editor-in-chief of the Brussels news magazine The Bulletin until 2010, he has published several books on the Low Countries, including Flemish Cities Explored. He is the author of The 500 Hidden Secrets of Ghent and of Hidden Belgium.
