Where is Antwerp?

Based in the north of Belgium, Antwerp is a port city with a population of over 500,000 people. Along with the capital, Brussels, Antwerp is one of the most populated Belgian cities. By car, Antwerp is only an hours’ drive north of the capital and northeast of the major city of Ghent. Some also locate city as being in the Flemish Region of Belgium, and more specifically, in the Antwerp Province of which Antwerp is the capital.

Antwerp also has Europe’s second-largest seaport. This is connected to the North Sea by the River Scheldt and Westerschelde estuary. The river takes up much of the north Antwerp region which borders the Netherlands. The Dutch border is no further than 15 miles northeast of the Antwerp city centre.

Although, indeed, Antwerp was perhaps more known globally in the sixteenth and seventeenth century, over one million people still visit the city every year. Collectively, the city’s main train station Antwerp Centraal and Antwerp International Airport support the travel of thousands of people both entering and leaving the city. It's for this reason that Antwerp apartments near these facilities are very often booked all year round.

Business in Antwerp

Common knowledge seems to be that it is the Antwerp diamonds that are the backbone of the city’s economy. Whilst this was true back in the 15th century when diamond trade was a focus of the Antwerp economy, nowadays the city has more to offer in terms of attracting business. First of all, Antwerp has a self-sufficient business climate. Each year, over 200 million tonnes of goods are loaded into the Port of Antwerp almost £400 million added value is generated by the city’s companies. Around a fifth of the population have been able to be self-employed and office space in central locations in Antwerp is considerably cheaper in comparison to what is on offer in major cities of many European countries.

Moreover, Antwerp’s business centre has been credited constantly over the last decade for the business environment it has created. For instance, Antwerp has been named one of the ‘Global Cities of the Future’, one of the best large cities for connectivity. The city has also been awarded by the fDi for encouraging innovation and for its strategy as a ‘Europe City and Region of the Future’.

Things to do in Antwerp

Antwerp may be one of the smaller major cities in Europe, but nevertheless, there’s still plenty to do and see in this hub of Belgian culture and heritage. Perhaps the most popular attraction in Antwerp is the City Hall. Surrounded by the Grote Markt town square and the old city quarter, the City Hall is the centrepiece of Antwerp politics and is deemed one of the most beautiful buildings in the city. The City Hall still has plenty of charm, decorated by flags of the EU states and representing a time in history when Antwerp was at it’s most powerful in Europe.

The city’s history is also proudly expressed across the various museums in Antwerp.
