Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

For this visit we met up with a friend we hadn't seen for many years. We quickly agreed that a(nother) visit to this charming alleyway could not be foregone. It is one of the several quaint ancient alleyways the city boast, but it is most probably the best known one. Despite its renown, it is mostly very quiet. It lies between Hoogstraat (High Street) and Oude Koornmarkt (Old Grain Market) and is positively charming. The ancient buildings and cellars now harbour various restaurants, among others. In summer you might get lucky and catch the Monday evening carillon concerts, as it is one of the prime spots to enjoy this event due to its acoustics.

This is one of the only remaining medieval streets left in Antwerp. It’s sometimes called Vlaeykensgang Alley and it’s only a two-minute walk from Grote Markt which is the main tourist destination for Antwerp.
It's also the main connection walkway to the Cathedral of Our Lady which is a main draw.
We thought the cobblestone walk with the old buildings on either side were a step back into time.

It's a shame there are not more places like this preserved. This winding historical Street feels like something from a work of classic fiction. Remarkably peaceful noting the bustle of foot traffic that passes it by.

We visited as part of a walking tour which is a great way to hear about the history.
Without that it is just a lovely small street, restaurant at the end looks very fancy.
Just off one of the main squares so definitely worth popping in even just very briefly

We visited as a group from our Scenic River Cruise . We had a local guide who told us the history and showed us the sights to see.
These alleyways are lovely , different from the busy city around them . Good to have a guide as we probably wouldn’t have them otherwise.
There is some lovely architecture here . Also you have the lace shops , the beer shops & of course the chocolate shops .
Glad we went , there was lots to see . Much prettier than I was expecting too.

Beautiful, peaceful little lane which twists and turns between Pelgrimstraat and Hoogstraat. It's just near the Grote Markt, and indeed hard to find. Posh restaurant near one end, open in the evening. Plants and benches make for a very pleasant feel.

You will find this medieval street in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Antwerp. You can walk right past this. We received a tip from someone in Kortrijk: if you are in Antwerp, you should definitely visit the Vlaaikensgang. There is also a restaurant here.

A "must-go" according to the recommendations. First been during the day. We thought it was nice at the time, but not very special. Cute to see. In the evening when the street was attractively lit, it looked a lot more special and romantic. Side street of the Oude Koornmarkt; it takes some searching.

If you make a stroll in the center of Antwerp, just walk through this narrow street and listen to the sounds you might hear, Sometimes you can relax here while listening to the music of the bells of the cathedral.

Or in English: Yes it’s open each day as some restaurants have their main entrance there ...
