🏡 PROPERTY

Vlasmarkt 4, 2000 Antwerpen

19th-century neoclassical townhouse with views of the Scheldt and the Cathedral.

Step outside and you’re in the heart of Antwerp. Kloosterstraat, Vrijdagmarkt, and the Scheldt just around the corner.

Completely renovated in 2024, the home keeps its original charm. Bright living room, kitchen, custom storage, and a master bedroom with bathroom and dressing room.

Upstairs, a bedroom that opens to a terrace with a fireplace.

Parking just 60 meters away.

It can be yours for€ 850,000

🍽 VEGAN SPOT OF THE WEEK

We went to Humm and didn’t even have to think twice about what to order. We looked left, we looked right and every table had the Humm Experience (€70 for 2 people).
You pick 2 dips, 3 mezzes and 1 salad, and that’s it. No overthinking, just a table full of good food.

If you ask us, the standouts were the Arayes and the hot cauli 🔥

🤝 LOCAL SPOTLIGHT

Steenhouwersvest 45, 2000

Some brands are built.

Others are passed down.

KASA People comes from two sisters who grew up in the leather world. Their father spent over 35 years in the craft.

Now, between Antwerp and Istanbul, they’re continuing that legacy in their own way.

Handcrafted pieces. No mass production.
