‘t Eilandje: where city meets water

Historic warehouses, boats, and views of the MAS

On ’t Eilandje, you immediately feel the city’s maritime soul. Stroll past marinas, cobbled streets, and impressive warehouses such as the Sint-Felix Warehouse.

• Today, the building houses the city archives and WOLF  Sharing Food Market, offering a diverse range of street food and bars. Take a seat on the waterside terrace and enjoy views of the MAS.
• At ‘t Licht der Dokken, a traditional pub overlooking the Londenbrug bridge, you’ll find yourself shoulder to shoulder with the regulars.
• Or head to Bar du Port on Napoleonkaai, a quay where the spacious terrace and impressive wine list invite you to linger.

Tip: stroll along the Scheldt Docks for a fresh river breeze or take the free escalators to the roof of the MAS for a panoramic view of the city.

Where nature meets culture

Terraces near Zuidpark and the museum

Zuidpark has become a vibrant meeting place for both locals and visitors. You’ll see joggers, dog walkers, picnickers, and children playing in the grass. Surrounding the park are three prominent museums: the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp (KMSKA), Photo Museum Antwerp (FOMU), and the Museum of Contemporary Art (M HKA).

• With views of the park, Café Zurich is a popular hotspot, offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
• Fancy a cocktail? Bar Burbure has a fun, cosmopolitan vibe.
• Set in a historic warehouse, L’Entrepôt du Congo serves up classic Belgian dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
• Just a stone’s throw away is De Nieuwe Linde, a popular meeting place for locals.

Tip: start your morning with coffee on a terrace, then soak in some culture at a museum, and end your day with a relaxing stroll in the park.

Green parks, relaxed atmosphere

From city buzz to leafy quiet

Antwerp’s parks bring everyone together: locals and visitors, skaters and joggers, children playing, and people enjoying a picnic or a book.

• The Harmoniepark is small but lively, with Nives as its most popular terrace.
• Te Boelaerpark is in Borgerhout, a neighbourhood filled with cafés and restaurants like Café Josee, Foxy, Bar Brul, and Bobette.
• Nachtegalenpark in the south of Antwerp is actually a collective name for three beautiful parks: Den Brandt, Vogelzang, and Middelheimpark. The Melkerij has a large sunny terrace and a playground, Brasserie Woods brings a touch of Parisian elegance, Mika is cafe in the Middelheim Museum, and Murni is the place to grab a fresh, tasty, and healthy bite to eat.
