Are you bringing children to visit Antwerp? Then try to plan beforehand which sights and attractions you aim to visit and the discounts currently on offer at each establishment. In fact, children and/or students enjoy a discount from most partners, which can sometimes make it more beneficial to pay the admission price directly to each establishment.
