Antwerp: Take the escalator back to 1933

This family's experience:

Activities: We went on a walk through the St.-Anna-Tunnel. We went down using the escalators from 1933 and walked for about ten minutes through the tunnel. At the end, the cyclists took the old elevator

Highlights: It was a nice adventure for the kids. The old escalators and the tunnel itself were interesting, with its white tiled walls. My interest in Steampunk was certainly satisfied! ✨
