Drinks & Nightlife

When I go out for a drink (or two), I go to 'Korsakov', it's a great bar were creative people come together! Upstairs there's a smoke area, butyou can also sit outside when the sun is out.

Essentials

On Saturdays (8h-16h) & Sundays (8h-13h) there's a market here. If you want to taste different kind of food or buy fresh fruit, this is the place to be. On top of that, it's nice just walking there.

Sightseeing

In Summer this is the place to clear your head, to buy a beer & sit down in the sun while you watch the river floating. It's a wooden platform on the water where people come together.

This is a museum, but the hidden treasure is on top of it: a view over the city from the roof of this 'tower-museum'. Also, on Sundays I work in the restaurant beneath it!

This is my favorite square in Antwerp, it's really little, has a church on one side and an old library on the other side, and a pretty good place to eat scones & drink tea. Plus street musicians!

If you like parcs, this is my favorite one, because it's wider than the ones you find in the centre of Antwerp. Sometimes they do concerts there too in the amfitheatre. Really nice atmosphere there!

On the other side of the river side you find 'Galgeweel', a lake, it's a place you can sit in the sun, watch the sailclub doing their thing and relax away from the busy city-life.

Theaterhouse, I used to write reviews for it as a jury, so I'm pretty much in love with this place. Also a bar, where you can eat a quick sandwich or have a tea.
