— THE LISTINGS —
🗺️ ACTIVITY
One of our readers says this is their go-to experience whenever friends or family visit Antwerp and are looking for something different to do.
🏡 PROPERTY
Steenhouwersvest 1 Box 401
For €599,000 you can get this place above Steenhouwersvest with 184 m² of space, a private terrace, and one of the most iconic views in Antwerp. City life downstairs, peace upstairs. Plus a hidden kitchen for when your cooking experiments need to disappear.
🔍 THE FIND
If your ideal morning starts with the smell of fresh sourdough, Nives should be on your list! Everything is baked on site, from the bread to the viennoiserie, and you can actually see the bakers at work while you wait.
We especially love this spot during a sunny day. And if the wait for a table takes too long, order something and lay on the park.
