Mother's Day is Sunday. Take her to brunch. Stop by the flea market at Dageraadplaats. Or just do both.

Café Society takes over nine bars on Saturday for free, all afternoon. A 5-day concert run at Murukutum kicks off Wednesday. And Hidden, the café-slash-tattoo-studio we found this week, is worth the detour. Scroll down and pick your plans! 🐝

🗺️ ACTIVITY

🚗 Antwerp Classic Car Event

Antwerp turns into a car lover’s playground this weekend with hundreds of classic cars at Cockerillkaai.

The weather will be good so let’s make it your free outside activity this week.

Around that, expect a lively setup with stands, new car showcases, bars and food trucks, so even if you’re not a hardcore car person, there’s plenty to wander through.

📅 Saturday & Sunday
📍 Cockerillkaai
🎟 Free

🏡 PROPERTY

Elisabethlaan 56, 2600

A beautiful authentic herenhuis in Pulhof for €765,000.

This home offers 214 m² of living space and for this you get 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

What makes it stand out, besides the façade? The garden and if you need more sun you get a big rooftop terrace.

The owners describe it as a place where you actually know your neighbours. Bump into on the street, in the nearby parks, and during the summer neighbourhood parties. It has that rare green, village-like atmosphere while still being just minutes away from the energy of the city.

🔍 THE FIND

Last week we went to Hidden.

A daytime café/handpoked tattoo studio. It’s a very homey café with a warm wood interior and their deep blue sofa which is a real showstopper. They regularly switch up specials next to their fixed menu, which keeps it interesting every time you go.

Our recommendation: the coconut lemon lemonade and the hojicha latte. Stop by this Saturday as they’re hosting their first selected set with DJ Deloin, from 1pm–4pm. A good excuse to stay for one more coffee.
