The immensely beautiful Rococo buildings on the Meir house major European chain stores. It makes this traffic-free boulevard the pre-eminent hotspot for every shopaholic.
International fashion chains
Antwerp’s Meir is the city’s most prestigious and vibrant walking and shopping avenue. You’ll find branches of many of the large international chains here in the stately 18th and 19th century buildings. Do visit Shopping Stadsfeestzaal, an exclusive shopping centre in the city’s beautifully-restored festival hall.
Cosy terraces
Do you need a break from the crowds? No problem, find a seat on one of the nice terraces in Wapper, the square in front of the historic Rubenshuis.
