Great Market Square is on the tour route. The Grand Market, the highest point in the city, has been used as a marketplace for centuries. Initially, it was primarily used for trading grains. The general goods markets, like the ones held on Tuesday mornings and Fridays, have been around since 1321.

The Antonius cathedral is on the tour route. In St. Janstraat, at the front on the right side, you'll see St. Anthony's Cathedral, which is a fancy church built in a certain style.
