About this audio guide
This guide to the Jewish Quarter in Antwerp looks up from the streets south of Central Station, where around twenty thousand strictly Orthodox Jews live among diamond offices and kosher bakeries. It follows the Sabbath rule against carrying, and the thin overhead line that turns a city centre into something else entirely. Best heard on the pavement near the entrance to the diamond district, with your eyes on the poles above.
