40+ Best Things to Do in Antwerp, Belgium (2026 Guide)

Wondering what to do in Antwerp?

Antwerp is one of those Belgian cities where you can easily fill a weekend without running out of things to see.

You can spend the morning admiring Flemish masterpieces, walk through the historic centre in the afternoon, shop along Meir, watch the sunset by the Scheldt and finish the evening with drinks on one of the city’s lively squares.

And while Antwerp is famous for its fashion, diamonds, art and historic architecture, there is much more to the city than its main tourist attractions.

I’ve put together this list of the best things to do in Antwerp, including famous landmarks, museums, neighbourhoods, shopping streets, markets, viewpoints, outdoor spots and a few more unusual things to do.

If you’re visiting Antwerp for the first time, you definitely don’t need to do all 30+ things. I’ve also included my personal recommendations throughout the guide so you can easily decide what is actually worth your time.

Historic Antwerp & Landmarks

1. See Antwerp Central Station

Let’s start with somewhere you might not expect to be a tourist attraction.

Antwerp Central Station is one of the most impressive buildings in the city and absolutely worth seeing, even if you’re not arriving by train.

The huge entrance hall, grand staircase, glass roof and impressive architecture make it feel more like a palace than a train station.

And the best part?

You don’t need to spend any money or much time here.

Simply take a few minutes to look around before heading into the city.

The station also puts you right beside the famous Antwerp Zoo and within easy walking distance of Meir.

Don’t just use Antwerp Central Station as your arrival point, actually look inside.

Here are my 3 favourite hotels in Antwerp:

Zuid: Hotel Pilar

2. Walk Around Grote Markt

Grote Markt is the historic heart of Antwerp.

The square is surrounded by beautiful guild houses, colourful historic buildings and the impressive Antwerp City Hall.

In the middle you’ll also find the Brabo Fountain, one of Antwerp’s most recognisable landmarks.

This is one of those places where I wouldn’t overthink what to do.

Just walk around, look up at the architecture and grab a drink or something to eat at one of the surrounding terraces.

It’s particularly beautiful in the evening when the buildings are illuminated.

3. See the Brabo Fountain

While you’re at Grote Markt, take a closer look at the Brabo Fountain.

The statue depicts Silvius Brabo throwing the severed hand of the giant Antigoon into the Scheldt.

According to the legend, Antigoon demanded a toll from people crossing the river and cut off the hands of those who refused.

Brabo eventually defeated him and threw his hand into the river.

This legend is also connected to the name Antwerp, although the exact origin of the city’s name is debated.

You don’t need long here, but it’s worth knowing the story behind the statue before you walk past it.

4. Visit Antwerp City Hall

The Stadhuis van Antwerpen sits directly on Grote Markt and is one of the square’s most impressive buildings.

The Renaissance-style building dates back to the 16th century and forms part of Antwerp’s historic centre.

Even if you don’t go inside, it’s worth stopping to admire the architecture from the square.

5. Visit the Cathedral of Our Lady

The Cathedral of Our Lady is one of Antwerp’s most recognisable landmarks.

The enormous Gothic cathedral dominates the skyline of the historic centre and is particularly impressive when viewed from Grote Markt and Groenplaats.

Inside, you’ll find several important works of art, including paintings by Peter Paul Rubens.

The cathedral is definitely worth visiting if you’re interested in art and architecture.

6. Walk Around Groenplaats

Groenplaats is one of Antwerp’s central squares and sits directly beside the Cathedral of Our Lady.

It’s a good place to stop for a coffee, beer or lunch while exploring the historic centre.

You’ll also get a great view of the cathedral from here.

The square can get busy, but that’s part of its atmosphere.

If you’re looking for a good café while exploring Antwerp, check out my Best Coffee & Brunch Spots in Antwerp: 10 Local Favourites for my favourite places to stop for coffee or brunch.

7. Explore Het Steen

Het Steen is a medieval fortress located directly beside the Scheldt.

It’s one of Antwerp’s oldest surviving buildings and makes for an easy stop while exploring the historic centre and waterfront.

The castle itself is relatively small, so you don’t need hours here.

Instead, combine it with a walk along the river and the Scheldt quays.

8. Visit The Antwerp Story

Inside Het Steen you’ll find The Antwerp Story, an interactive experience introducing visitors to different sides of the city.

It’s particularly useful if it’s your first time in Antwerp and you want a little more context about the city’s history, culture and neighbourhoods.

If you don’t have much time, though, I’d prioritise walking around the historic centre itself.

Best Museums in Antwerp

9. Visit KMSKA – Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp

If you’re only going to visit one museum in Antwerp, I’d make it KMSKA.

The Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp houses an impressive collection of paintings, including works by Flemish masters as well as more modern artists.

But even if you’re not a huge museum person, the building itself is worth seeing.

The museum combines its historic architecture with a striking contemporary interior, making the visit feel like more than simply walking through a collection of paintings.

My tip: Give yourself at least a couple of hours here rather than trying to rush through it.

10. Visit MAS – Museum aan de Stroom

The MAS is one of Antwerp’s most recognisable modern buildings.

The museum focuses on Antwerp’s history, culture and connection to the wider world.

But here’s my biggest tip:

Don’t skip the rooftop.

The panoramic rooftop gives you fantastic views across Antwerp and the harbour.

And you don’t necessarily need to spend hours inside the museum to enjoy this part.

If museums aren’t your thing, you can still make a quick stop at MAS and head up for the view.

11. Visit FOMU – Photo Museum Antwerp

If you’re interested in photography, add FOMU to your Antwerp itinerary.

The museum focuses on photography and regularly hosts temporary exhibitions alongside its collection.

It’s located in Zuid, which also makes it easy to combine with exploring the neighbourhood, grabbing coffee or visiting another museum.

12. Visit MoMu – Fashion Museum Antwerp

Antwerp has a huge connection to fashion, so MoMu is one of the city’s most interesting museums if you’re interested in clothing, design and fashion history.

The museum explores fashion through exhibitions and its extensive collection.

And if you’re visiting Antwerp in 2026, fashion is an especially interesting theme: MoMu is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the international breakthrough of the Antwerp Six with a major exhibition running from March 2026 into January 2027.

13. Visit Museum Plantin-Moretus

The Museum Plantin-Moretus is one of Antwerp’s most unique museums.

It is located in the former home and printing workshop of the Plantin-Moretus family and gives you a glimpse into the world of printing and publishing centuries ago.

The museum is particularly special because the historic house and workshops have been preserved.

It’s also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

If you’re interested in history, books, architecture or printing, don’t skip this one.

2026 is also a particularly interesting year to visit: the museum is celebrating 450 years since the Plantin printing house was established and 150 years as a museum, with a renewed permanent display planned from December.

14. Visit the Snijders & Rockox House

For something a little smaller and more intimate, visit Snijders & Rockox House.

The museum combines historic interiors with art and gives you a glimpse into life in Antwerp during the 16th and 17th centuries.

It’s a good alternative if you don’t want to spend half a day in one of the city’s larger museums.

15. Visit M HKA

The Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp (M HKA) is the place to go if you prefer contemporary art.

It’s located in Zuid, so it’s easy to combine with FOMU and the rest of the neighbourhood.

I’d particularly recommend exploring Zuid on foot rather than simply visiting the museum and leaving again.

Explore Antwerp with a Guided Tour

Want to explore Antwerp with a little more context? These are a few popular guided experiences and activities worth considering:

Explore Antwerp’s Neighbourhoods

16. Explore Eilandje

Eilandje is one of my favourite areas to explore in Antwerp.

This former harbour district has been transformed into a modern neighbourhood filled with restaurants, bars, waterfront spaces and impressive architecture.

The MAS is located here, but don’t just visit the museum and leave.

Walk around the docks, sit beside the water and explore the streets around the harbour.

Eilandje is especially nice around sunset.

17. Walk Around Kattendijkdok

Head further into Eilandje and you’ll reach Kattendijkdok.

The atmosphere here feels more relaxed than the historic centre.

It’s a good place to sit beside the water, have a drink or simply watch the boats.

If you’re looking for somewhere to slow down after a day of sightseeing, this is a good option.

18. Explore Zuid

Zuid is Antwerp’s artsy and creative neighbourhood.

You’ll find museums, galleries, cafés, restaurants, boutiques and beautiful squares.

It’s a completely different atmosphere from the medieval historic centre.

I’d particularly recommend Zuid if you’ve already seen the main tourist sights and want to experience another side of Antwerp.

19. Visit Mechelseplein

Mechelseplein is one of my favourite squares in Antwerp for having a drink.

It’s surrounded by bars and terraces and has a much more relaxed atmosphere than some of the city’s major tourist squares.

Grab a drink, sit outside and people-watch.

Honestly, sometimes that’s all you need.

20. Visit Marnixplaats

Another great square for drinks and people-watching is Marnixplaats.

It’s located in Zuid and surrounded by cafés, restaurants and terraces.

I’d combine Marnixplaats with exploring the surrounding streets and the Scheldt quays.

21. Walk Around Vrijdagmarkt

Vrijdagmarkt is a historic square in the centre of Antwerp.

It’s particularly interesting if you enjoy second-hand shopping, antiques and markets.

The square also has a very different atmosphere from the grander Grote Markt.

22. Explore Borgerhout

If you have more time in Antwerp, head towards Borgerhout.

This neighbourhood has become known for its creative atmosphere, independent businesses, restaurants and multicultural character.

It’s a good place to go once you’ve already seen the main historic sights.

Shopping & Fashion

23. Go Shopping on Meir

If you like shopping, you can’t really visit Antwerp without walking along Meir.

This is the city’s main shopping street, with a mixture of international brands and large stores.

Even if you’re not interested in shopping, you’ll probably walk along it at some point because it connects Antwerp Central Station with the historic centre.

24. Visit Stadsfeestzaal

For something a little more impressive than a standard shopping centre, step inside Stadsfeestzaal.

The historic building has an elaborate interior with a grand staircase, decorative details and a large central shopping area.

It’s worth popping inside even if you don’t plan to buy anything.

25. Explore Kammenstraat

For something more alternative, head to Kammenstraat.

You’ll find smaller shops and a younger, more creative atmosphere than on Meir.

It’s a good area to explore if you like streetwear, alternative fashion and independent shops.

26. Explore Antwerp’s Fashion District

Antwerp is internationally known for fashion, and the area around Nationalestraat is at the heart of the city’s fashion scene.

Walk around the streets surrounding MoMu and the fashion academy and you’ll find designer boutiques, fashion stores and creative businesses.

Even if you don’t have the budget for designer shopping, it’s still interesting to explore the area and see why Antwerp became such an important fashion city.

27. Walk Along Nationalestraat

Nationalestraat is particularly interesting if you’re into fashion.

It’s home to MoMu and several fashion-related stores and sits right between the historic centre and Zuid.

It’s also a good street to simply wander down while exploring Antwerp.

Markets in Antwerp

28. Visit Vogeltjesmarkt

If you’re in Antwerp on a Sunday, check out Vogeltjesmarkt.

The market has a mixture of food, vintage items, antiques and other random finds.

It’s less about ticking off a major attraction and more about experiencing a different side of Antwerp.

29. Browse Vrijdagmarkt

On certain days, Vrijdagmarkt becomes a great place to browse second-hand and antique items.

Even when there isn’t a market taking place, the historic square itself is worth seeing.

Check the current market schedule before planning your visit.

30. Visit the Exotic Market

Antwerp’s Exotic Market is a fun option if you’re interested in food.

You’ll find products and ingredients from different cultures, reflecting Antwerp’s incredibly multicultural population.

It’s particularly nice if you enjoy wandering around food markets rather than sitting down for a traditional restaurant meal.

Antwerp by the Water

31. Walk Along the Scheldt

Don’t leave Antwerp without seeing the Scheldt.

The river has played an enormous role in the city’s history and identity.

Walk along the quays and enjoy the views across the water.

It’s also one of the easiest free things to do in Antwerp.

32. Watch the Sunset by the Scheldt

The Scheldt is particularly beautiful around sunset.

Find a spot along the river, grab a drink or some takeaway food and watch the sky change over Antwerp.

If you’ve spent the whole day walking around museums and historic streets, this is a perfect way to slow down.

33. Have a Drink by Kattendijkdok

For a more modern waterfront atmosphere, head back towards Eilandje.

Around Kattendijkdok you’ll find places where you can sit outside and enjoy a drink beside the water.

This is particularly nice during warmer months.

34. Visit Batavier

Batavier is a relaxed waterfront hangout near MAS.

It’s a good option when you want to combine sightseeing with a drink and some time outside.

I’d particularly consider it during summer when the waterfront atmosphere is at its best.

Green Spaces & Outdoor Antwerp

35. Visit the Botanical Garden

Den Botaniek, Antwerp’s Botanical Garden, is a small green oasis in the middle of the city.

It’s not somewhere I’d spend half a day, but it’s a lovely little break from the busy streets.

It’s especially nice if you want somewhere quiet to sit for a while.

36. Explore Park Spoor Noord

Park Spoor Noord is a large urban park in the north of Antwerp.

It’s very different from the historic centre and gives you a glimpse of the city’s more modern and local side.

The park is popular with locals for relaxing, exercising and spending time outdoors.

If you’re staying around Eilandje or exploring the northern part of Antwerp, it’s worth adding to your route.

37. Walk Around Antwerp Zoo

Right beside Antwerp Central Station you’ll find ZOO Antwerpen, one of the oldest zoos in the world.

It’s a good option if you’re travelling with children or simply enjoy zoos and wildlife.

Even if you don’t visit the zoo itself, the location beside Central Station makes it easy to include if you have a full day in Antwerp.

More Unique Things to Do in Antwerp

38. Look for Antwerp’s Street Art

Antwerp has plenty of street art scattered around the city.

Rather than looking for one specific mural, keep your eyes open while walking between neighbourhoods.

You’ll find murals and smaller pieces particularly around areas with a more creative atmosphere.

This is one of those activities that’s completely free and doesn’t require planning.

39. Look for Antwerp’s Hidden Streets

One of my favourite ways to explore Antwerp is simply to get away from the main shopping streets.

Walk down smaller streets around the historic centre and look for hidden courtyards, old buildings and narrow alleys.

Don’t feel like you need to follow Google Maps perfectly.

Some of the most interesting parts of Antwerp are the ones you stumble across between the major attractions.

40. Go on a Guided Walking Tour

If you want to understand more about Antwerp’s history, consider joining a walking tour.

This can be particularly useful on your first day because you’ll learn the stories behind places like Grote Markt, the Cathedral, Het Steen and the historic centre.

I’d personally do a walking tour early in your trip and then return to the places you found most interesting afterwards.

41. Explore Antwerp’s Nightlife

Antwerp has a surprisingly good nightlife scene.

For bars and drinks, explore areas around:

Mechelseplein
Marnixplaats
Zuid
Historic centre
Eilandje

The atmosphere varies a lot depending on the neighbourhood, so don’t feel like you have to stay around Grote Markt.

If you’re looking for clubs and a later night, Antwerp also has plenty of options beyond the traditional tourist centre.

42. Try Belgian Beer in Antwerp

You are in Belgium, after all.

One of the easiest ways to experience Antwerp is simply to find a good bar and try a Belgian beer you’ve never had before.

Try something local, order a De Koninck if you want an Antwerp beer, or ask the bartender for a recommendation.

You don’t need a fancy beer tour to enjoy Belgian beer culture.

Sometimes a terrace and a good beer are enough.

I recommend 2 days in Antwerp for most first-time visitors.

With two days, you can see the historic centre, visit one or two museums, explore Eilandje, go shopping and still have time for drinks or dinner.

One day in Antwerp

If you only have one day, I’d focus on:

This gives you a good introduction to Antwerp without trying to squeeze in every museum.

Two days in Antwerp

With two days, I’d add:

KMSKA + Zuid + more shopping + museums + neighbourhoods + Antwerp nightlife

This is what I’d recommend for a first proper visit.

Three days in Antwerp

With three days, you can slow down and explore some of the less touristy areas.

Add:

Borgerhout
Park Spoor Noord
More museums
Markets
Longer time in Zuid
More time around Eilandje

My Personal Antwerp Itinerary

If I were showing someone Antwerp for the first time, this is roughly how I’d plan it.

Start your day at KMSKA.

Afterwards, explore Zuid, including FOMU if you’re interested in photography.

If you don’t have time for everything on this list, don’t worry.

These are the things I would personally prioritise:

1. Antwerp Central Station

It’s beautiful and takes almost no extra time.

2. Grote Markt & the historic centre

This is where you’ll get that classic Antwerp feeling.

A completely different side of Antwerp.

Final Thoughts: What to Do in Antwerp

There are far more things to do in Antwerp than you can fit into one day.

The historic centre is obviously the best place to start, but I wouldn’t spend your entire trip there.

One of the things I like about Antwerp is how quickly the atmosphere changes.

You can go from medieval buildings around Grote Markt to the modern harbour of Eilandje, from the fashion district to the museums of Zuid and from busy shopping streets to a quiet spot along the Scheldt.

For a first visit, I’d focus on:

Central Station → Meir → Historic Centre → Grote Markt → Cathedral → Scheldt → Eilandje

Then, if you have more time, add KMSKA, Zuid, MoMu, Plantin-Moretus, markets and some of Antwerp’s smaller neighbourhoods.

You don’t need to see absolutely everything.

Give yourself enough time to actually enjoy the city.
