Antwerp Transportation: 164 reviews and 210 photos
Going underground ...
Though only three (actually two-and-a-halve) metroline, the system that runs partly underground in Antwerpen is a swift and efficient means of transport to certain destinations. Check on the maps near all entrances.
Mode: AROUND
Type: Subway/Metro
Ting ting ... here's the tram to pick us up
Antwerpen centre can be done on foot, but the various interesting attractions outside the centre can be reached by trams or busses. The city has a very good public transport system that reaches the furthest corners and suburbs.
Mode: AROUND
Type: Bus
Here a car even has a historic roof over the hood
Unlike many equally large towns, Antwerpen can be visited by car. The amount of parkingspace in the centre is good and the parking fee is even amazingly low. Take for example the parking facilities under the old docks and fishery halls on Antwerpen cays (follw P - "Kade"). Here often is space and with 100 metres you are on the Grote Markt (Big Market square).
Driving your car through Antwerpen is not recommendable as in many places the old roads excist of 'kinderkopjes' (rounded stones) that will tremble your car apart (-:

Boattrips leave from the river near "Het Steen"
Antwerpen is one of the busiest harbours in the world. Therefor entering by boat, could be a great way of visiting the town. However, not many regular tourists will arrive in Antwerpen by boat.
For those who want to discover the huge harbour terraines, from the cays near the "Steen"-castle (Nautical Museum) boatttrips leave regularly and all year around.
Mode: TO,AROUND
Type: Train
Central Station Antwerpen ... let's get into town!
Antwerpen is a town that is situated on the splitting of two mayor railways leading from The Netherlands into Flanders and towards Brussel. The city is situated as well on the HSL (High Speed Line) from Amsterdam to Paris and thus can be easily reached by train. The central station is a great building, welcoming everyone in the grandeur of most Antwerpen buildings.
