Thing to do in and around Antwerp

Antwerp

Antwerp (approx. 540,000 inhabitants) is a vibrant port city where history, culture and sport come together. For football enthusiasts, a visit to the city is even more special, as it is home to Royal Antwerp FC, Belgium's oldest football club, which plays at the iconic Bosuil Stadium. Stroll through the charming historic centre with its Grand Place and Cathedral of Our Lady, or relax at one of the many cafés along the River Scheldt. After the matches, Antwerp is the perfect place for your team to experience the atmosphere of this dynamic city.
