Brilliant Antwerp: a walk through the diamond district

During the 'Brilliant Antwerp' tour you wander around in the world centre of diamonds, the Diamond Quarter. Together with your guide, you relive the heyday, the (near) demise and the revival of the Antwerp diamond industry.

From Central Station, we head to the "Diamond Square Mile," Antwerp's diamond district. A motley mix of different nationalities make their way through the streets here, busily negotiating from one transaction to the next. Diamond workers, jewelers and diamond dealers are at home here in their world of cutting shops, showrooms and bourses. On this walk through the Diamond Quarter, you'll learn all about the diamond's origins, processing and market.
