IJzerlaan Bicycle Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The old IJzerlaan bridge over the Albert Canal was replaced in 2017 by a new bicycle and pedestrian bridge. The new bicycle bridge connects seamlessly with the bicycle routes to and around the city, such as the Ringfietspad, the Singelfietspad and the bicycle ostrade from Antwerp to Essen.

Veltwijck Castle

Highlight • Castle

The park around the castle has been laid out in an English landscape style and is adjacent to the 'Oude Landen' nature reserve behind it. It has a beautiful rose garden, a castle pond and a variety of trees. In the front part of the park there are still some beech trees from a lane that was planted in 1759. There is a playground for the children. A major attraction is 'Villa Enjoys' at the entrance of the park, built around 1900. At the back of the park is an old restored lock pumping station. The Veltwijckpark is home to the oldest 'lying seesaw' archery club in the country. In September, the Castle Festivities and the Highland Games continue, an event not to be missed.

Antwerp City Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

The town hall is on the list of the UNESCO world cultural heritage. The town hall is a Renaissance building, designed by the architect Cornelis Floris De Vriendt. It was built between 1561 and 1564. The town hall is mainly built in the Renaissance style, but the middle section is already reminiscent of the Baroque. After the thorough restoration in 2018-2022, the town hall is a contemporary, sustainable and open house of government. After the restoration, the town hall is an open house, an icon of valuable immovable heritage on the Grote Markt.

View of the Rubens statue and the Cathedral of Our Lady at Groenplaats

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Groenplaats is located in the historical centre of Antwerp and is one of the most famous squares in Antwerp. Tourists who visit Antwerp to shop almost automatically end up on this rectangular square. The Groenplaats is an important link on the route between the Grote Markt, the Handschoenmarkt and the Suikerrui. Some visitors sit down on one of the benches on the square, sit around the statue of Peter Paul Rubens or take a seat on one of the terraces that can be found around the Groenplaats.
The Groenplaats was a cemetery that belonged to the Cathedral of Our Lady since the Middle Ages. It was not until the end of the eighteenth century that this cemetery was transformed into a square. This happened after Emperor Joseph II forbade the use of cemeteries within the city walls.
