Audio walk through the Diamond District
Did you know that natural diamonds are older than dinosaurs? And that every diamond passes through Antwerp at least once? Antwerp has been the world center of diamonds for more than 575 years. There are a lot of diamond and gem stories to discover in the city.
In the second part of this walk, you will visit the Diamond Square Mile, today's Diamond District. You'll be introduced to the world of grinding, negotiating and trading the precious commodity.
