Antwerp Getting Around

Getting Around Antwerp - Discover a historic city on foot
Lively and historic, Antwerp is full of inspiring monuments and museums and abundant entertainment that is generally located centrally within a small area. This makes a city break visit perfect for exploring on foot or by its comprehensive public transport system. Much of the old town is closed to traffic which makes sightseeing and shopping for visitors all the more rewarding. The best way of getting around Antwerp is by using the efficient tram and underground metro systems which are simple to use, cheap and convenient for the main hotel district and shopping. 

Getting around Antwerp - Seamless public transport
The city has an extensive series of bus routes which serve all the main city routes, suburban areas and outlying towns and villages. The central Rooseveltplaats bus terminal provides comprehensive timetables, route maps and information in English and tickets can be purchased that cover the whole transport system. Cycling is popular and a great way of getting around Antwerp particularly within the central pedestrianised zone and bicycle hire can be found throughout the city. A number of companies offer guided cycling tours of Antwerp that take in visits to museums, art galleries and diamond showrooms and this provides a vivid glimpse of contemporary Flemish life.

Getting Around Antwerp - Exciting day trips by train
