7 romantic photo spots in Antwerp

Antwerp is full of charming spots that are perfect as backdrops for a loving snapshot. Find the perfect photo spot together – the right poses, we leave to you.

Romantic in any age: the Vlaeykensgang

Time has stood still on the smallest street in town. The Vlaeykensgang has been a popular place for couples since 1591. 

Eternal love at the lock wall on the Eilandje

Who said heart padlocks only belong in Paris? Antwerp also has its own padlock wall in the shape of a big heart. Make your bond of love official by hanging your own padlock and immortalising it in a photo. L'amour, toujours!

The beautiful skyline from the Left Bank

Nothing is more romantic than gazing together at the lights of the Scheldt River. The Antwerp skyline is amazingly beautiful and the perfect backdrop for your portrait.  

Along with Nello & Patrasche

Nello & Patrasche are two best friends, immortalised in a moving sculpture in the Handschoenmarkt. Embrace each other intimately and enjoy the moment. So much love in a photo!

Just like a historical novel: Hendrik Conscienceplein

The baroque St Charles Borromeo Church, the charming Heritage Library, the narrow streets, the majestic lime tree and simply the authentic atmosphere – you imagine yourself in the warm south for a moment. Hendrik Conscienceplein is excellent for a tender picture. 

Scheldt Quays at sunset

The breathtaking play of colours in a sunset makes love bubble up in everyone. Head to the Scheldt Quays at Het Zuid and Nieuw Zuid or the Droogdokkenpark on the Eilandje for a great view of this spectacle at dusk.

The Beguinage, a hidden gem

Downtown, next to the university, lurks The Beguinage. Hidden between the cottages and St Catherine's Church is a beautiful courtyard, with adorable cobbled streets. A gorgeous, tranquil backdrop for a cosy photo.
