Young and old love this escalator, it will bring you to the Sint-Annatunnel underneath the Schelde, so you can go to Linkeroever. But the escalator itsef is already cool.
BTW, place your hand on the handrail and don't slide it until you are at the very end... It is a different speed than the escalator, funfun

Because every book/website mentions it as hidden place in Antwerp, it is not so hidden anymore, but absolutely worth going there. So quiet and just next to the market square.

Just 2 min from the apartment. In summer there are the fountains for the children, while you relax and enjoy a drink. There is a skatepark. And almost every weekend there is something going on

If you want to eat steak, this is the place. Not your commercial steak house, just great meat.

It is in the park on the opposite of the street. Trendy place, high ceilings, good cocktails and good food, with some asian influences.

Felix Pakhuis
30 GodefriduskaaiNice setting, relaxed atmosphere and good food
alles is fijn, het interieur (gezellig, vroeger, nostalgie, maar het klopt), de bediening (gemoedelijk, maar niet te en professioneel) en het eten (lekker, klassiek maar met een twist en supergoede producten)

Antwerp ghostwalk and more guided tours for around 15eur pp
I did the Antwerp Ghostwalk with 3 teenagers (it is in Dutch or English) and they enjoyed it very much. It is combination of history and some fantasy. really professional guide, that we had.

Antwerp Museum app
It doesn't just include musea, you can find a lot of tours to walk by yourself. I liked Antwerp highights (when you are the first time in Antwerp) I also loved the street arts walk (there are plenty), a bit more of the beaten path, ideal for the teenagers and 'modern art people'.
