Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE HARBOUR

Reworked quays and the working port

Cycle the heraangelegde kaaien and take in the harborfront developments that frame Antwerpen’s ongoing transformation — a view of industry meeting new public space.

THE ROOFTOP

PAKT’s daktuin and The Jane’s herbs

Stop at the Groen Kwartier and the PAKT complex, where a rooftop garden supplies herbs to the restaurant The Jane — a compact example of culinary and urban reuse paired with a planned drink break.

THE NEIGHBOURHOODS

Multicultural quarters to Park Spoor Noord

Move from vibrant multicultural neighbourhoods to Park Spoor Noord and the Cadixwijk — highlights include a new fietsbrug, the havenhuis and contemporary housing islands such as Droogdokkeneiland and Montevideowijk.
