The Handelsbeurs ('Stock Exchange')

Walk a few hundred metres further and enter the Handelsbeurs along Lange Nieuwstraat. Stroll around the impressive Beursplein and point your camera mainly upward. The beautiful colonnade also comes out very well in photographs.

The Port House

A combination of old and new, typifying numerous hot spots in Antwerp. The Port House is a great example of this. A striking superstructure in the shape of a diamond now adorns the old fire station. It is a design by the renowned architecture firm Zaha Hadid Architects. The reflection of the water in the building begs to be captured in photographs.

Parkbrug in Spoor Noord

The Parkbrug ('Park Bridge') connects two trendy Antwerp neighbourhoods: het Eilandje and Park Spoor Noord.

Pedestrian tunnel

Not a Golden Gate or Brooklyn Bridge in Antwerp, but a tunnel under the River Scheldt. Even as you enter the tunnel building, you can see why the Pedestrian Tunnel is unique. The authentic wooden escalator will immediately catch your eye. The tunnel itself is perhaps even more photogenic. Upon exiting on the other side of the bank, a new photo opportunity already awaits: the skyline of Antwerp.

Zurenborg is perhaps the most beautiful district in Antwerp. Stroll through some elegant streets there with magnificent houses and past some lively and atmospheric squares. The icing on the cake is the sublime Cogels-Osylei, where the houses seem more like palaces. Take your time for this exploration and be surprised by beautiful details in the façades.
