Peter Paul Reubens masterpieces (including The Descent from the Cross -- 1612) inside the Cathedral of Our Lady, Antwerp's oldest church and the largest gothic church in the Low Countries. I love walking into these old cathedrals, you can smell the stone and you can feel the weight of the ages on your shoulders and if you listen closely you can hear the echo of voices long dead.
I loved Reubens' house and garden, second photo from top. Reubens was one of the few artists who enjoyed financial success in his lifetime.
Some other things I enjoyed in Antwerp were Belgium waffles, Belgium chocolate, Belgium beer, French wine, and my husband's company. He's the perfect travel companion.
