On a fascinating journey through time, a guide leads you from the courtyard of the monumental St. Paul's Church to the crypt and archaeological site of this Gothic gem. Then you descend in The Ruien for a fascinating walk through the ridge that ran alongside the monastery in former times. You walk underground to the end of the Koolvliet where you can take a look at the Burchtgracht, the oldest and most authentic canal in Antwerp.
