Thanks for the reply! I guess I'm really asking which city would make a better base. I've heard you can basically do Brussels in a day, so I thought maybe it would be better do stay in Antwerp and make Brussels a day trip, then have Antwerp to return to in the evening. It seems to make a little more sense that way since Antwerp is said to be a livelier place, especially after dark, but any feedback on that is very welcome. I've never been to either, so I may be completely mistaken.
