When to go to Antwerp?
Rubens is everywhere in Antwerp: altarpieces under the vaults of the Cathedral of Our Lady, and the house where he lived and worked kept as a museum, garden and studio included. The central station lifts a stone and iron dome over its platforms, grand out of all proportion to a train. West of it, the diamond quarter trades quietly behind unmarked doors.
