Viewpoint in Antwerp
The Museum aan de Stroom (MAS) is a striking red sandstone and glass tower in the Eilandje port district. The museum is paid, but the rooftop panorama deck is free. The 360-degree view covers the port, the old town, the Scheldt River, and the cathedral spire. Budget travelers take the escalators to the 10th floor for free and get the best elevated view in Antwerp.
