Too much for one day
Three Days in Antwerp
Day One
Travel to Antwerp in style, by taking the train. Did you know? Antwerp has been elected the most beautiful train station in the world several times and you will be amazee. It looks truly magnificent and is not to be found anywhere else. PREMIER SUITES PLUS Antwerp is a 5-minute walk from the award winning station.
Arrive in your cosy apartment and feel right at home in Antwerp. Get ready to explore the city and enjoy a little snack and a welcome drink on our rooftop terrace.
Ask our reception team about our bicycles and start exploring what Antwerp has to offer. Start your tour towards the beautiful city park of Antwerp that is near PREMIER SUITES PLUS Antwerp. You can make a first stop and enjoy all the green of the city by sitting on one of the benches. Afterwards, continue your journey to the southern part of the city. Here, you will find houses with beautiful architecture and you can chill on one of the beautiful terraces. Don’t forget to stop at the Museum of Fine Arts. This gigantic building appeals to everyone’s imagination.
Antwerp is of course situated at the waterfront. Go to the Scheldt and cycle along the water to ‘Het Eilandje’ where you find the small marina of Antwerp. It is known to be the ‘hipster’ neighbourhood of the city. The hotspot for fun bars and funky restaurants. So be sure to find a nice place to enjoy culinary delights in the evening.
Day Two
Belgium is of course the land of chocolate and beer. No trip to Antwerp is complete without experiencing one of our tours and filling your bellies at the same time, after all it would be rude not to!
Chocolate Nation is a museum that tells you all about the history of chocolate and its influence on the Belgium heritage. It is an interactive museum that informs you about everything and anything about chocolate in an engaging and fun way. It is located within walking distance of PREMIER SUITES PLUS Antwerp.
After being immersed in the world of chocolate, it is time to go for that other Belgian delicacy: beer. Breweries can be found all over Belgium. In the smallest villages, but also in the big cities. One of the best known breweries in Antwerp is ‘De Koninick’ with its famous ‘Bolleke’. The brewery is located just outside the city center and offers a nice brewery tour. You can do the tour without a guide, at your own pace. Before and after the tour you can enjoy a delicious draught beer.
Not tasted enough yet? At the brewery there is a very nice cafe where the people behind the bar have lots of tasty beers to offer before you have to go home again.
Day Three
Antwerp is the gateway to Europe and has a gigantic port. Goods are shipped in and out from all over the world. It is an economic hub that has created much wealth within the city. A boat tour of this gigantic harbor is therefore a real must-do in the city.
The tour usually lasts a few hours but time flies as you are captivated by the view and know-how of the city. The friendly tour guides talk about the different companies in the port, their history and operation.
After a few hours of sailing through the port, you can go to the big orange building that you undoubtedly already passed throughout your journey. This building is called the MAS or ‘Museum Aan de Stroom’ which is translated to ‘Museum At the Stream’. The building holds various exhibitions and has a delicious restaurant on the top floor. You have free access to the roof of the building where you can admire Antwerp and soak in your trip.
