Want to escape the city buzz? Antwerp has plenty of leafy terraces where you can relax and unwind. Whether you’re alone, with friends, or with family, these green corners of calm offer a welcome respite.
Bar Noord
Summer bar with holiday vibes
Park Spoor Noord is a popular place to unwind for locals and visitors. At its heart is the lively summer bar, Bar Noord. Choose a spot inside the old hangar or settle on the spacious terrace under a parasol and order from the extensive menu. The splash park will keep the kids entertained for hours.
Dansing Chocola
A green oasis in Kloosterstraat
The terrace of Dansing Chocola is a popular green oasis in the lively Kloosterstraat. Enjoy the colourful lights, the lush greenery, and Belgian classics like stoofvlees (beef stew) and vol-au-vent. Before or after, browse the many antique and vintage shops in the area.
PAKT
Trendy hotspot in the Groen Kwartier
In the heart of the Groen Kwartier district is PAKT, a former industrial site transformed into a trendy culinary hotspot. Start with coffee made from freshly roasted beans at Caffenation, then stop for a fresh lunch at the roof terrace of Racine or a pizza with herbs from the rooftop gardens at Standard. End with a craft beer at Spéciale Belge Taproom. Cheers!
