Fashion

Antwerp, with "The Antwerp Six", was already one of the trendsetters in fashion with the Sint-Andries district as its beating heart. The arrival of the ModeNatie fashion building—consisting of the new fashion museum of the Antwerp province (MoMu), the famous Fashion Academy, and the Flanders Fashion Institute—confirms this. This new place to be in fashion-conscious Flanders opened its doors on 21 September, 2002. Numerous stylish boutiques, trendy shops, and engaging thrift stores guarantee unlimited shopping pleasure.

Museums and churches

Antwerp was an ideal working area and an important source of inspiration for many artists, craftsmen, and writers. Just think of Rubens, Jordaens, Plantijn, Elsschot, Van Ostayen... The result is a city full of art and culture. More than 30 museums, numerous historic churches (including Cathedral of Our Lady), protected monuments, and statues provide you with amazing culture.

City by the stream

Whoever says Antwerp, also says the Scheldt river and the port. A harbor tour and a boat trip on the Scheldt offer an excellent introduction to the intriguing world of ports and ships. A walk on the walking terrace along the Scheldt shows you how strongly the historic center is connected to the water. "Het Eilandje", literally situated in the middle of the oldest part of the harbor, is pure nostalgia. You will also find one of the two Antwerp marinas. And on the roof of the MAS (Museum at the Stream), you can enjoy a unique view of the city and the Scheldt for free. You will find the Red Star Line museum just a bit farther, the new museum on migration to Ellis Island in the United States, from 1873 to 1934.

Catering/Tavern

This would not be Flanders if the list of recreational opportunities did not follow the theme of enjoying all the good things in life. The tavern provides both light and hearty meals with a nice choice of hot dishes, and you can go to the takeaway snack bar for delicious snacks. You can quench your thirst with a soft drink or even water, of course... but who can say they have really visited the Kempen without having tasted the regional beers, such as Trappist or Corsendonk?
