Antwerp, like most of Belgium, is interesting in a variety of ways. First, it is one of the few countries to have two completely different languages competing at almost equal levels. Flemish and German are the predominant languages here, although in the major Belgian cities like Antwerp, German tends to be the more popular. Antwerp is Europe's second-largest port and offers a great array of different cultural flavors, much like the other major European hubs. As a city, Antwerp has become exceptionally well-known for its leading fashion designs; every street is lined with clothing stores and the people dress to kill. Several famous designers, like Dries Van Noten and Véronique Branquinho, live in Antwerp. Also, Antwerp is one of Europe's leading art centers.
