Hemiksem

This pocket-sized Belgian town on the right bank of the Schelde, a few kilometres south of Antwerp, Hemiksem has a compact central core with cafés and restaurants and sits directly on the river. Part of the Rupelstreek region in the province of Antwerp, it makes a quiet base for exploring the wider area around one of Belgium's great port cities.
