Sushi restaurant. Very modern interior and they serve the Sushi in a kinda fancy way and 'a la carte'. You pay one price (drinks not included) and you order on the menu. They are served a little like 'nouvelle cuisine'. All-You-Can-Eat, but nog buffet style.

Nice historic warehouse. You can walk from Waaslandtunnel through the building until Godefriduskaai. You can visit the 'stadsarchief' to have a closer look. You may also eat at the restaurant downstairs with a nice big terrace near the water.

Budget-friendly summer bar in Park Spoor Noord, with fountains kids will love. Can be very crowded on hot days. Recommended during the evening on these days, if you like it a bit less crowded and more quiet.

The Antwerp ZOO is one of the oldest and best-known zoos in Europe. The Zoo’s beautiful buildings and garden have been listed as monuments and when it was built in 1843, more than 150 years ago it was just outside of the city’s walls. Now – the city has grown so much that the ZOO is now in the middle of town and is a green oasis next to Central Station.

Het Eilandje – ‘The Little Island’ – is so-called for good reason: Antwerp’s oldest port area is surrounded by water. Today, port activity is more concentrated in the north, but the feeling of a port is still very much present. Savour the historical atmosphere of the old loading dock with its monumental warehouses, lanterns, hangars and cobblestones.
