SourceDespite Antwerp Airport's close proximity to the city center, it is recommended to arrive 1.5-2 hours before Schengen flights and 2.5-3 hours for other international destinations, even given its small size.
SourceWhile generally safe, be extra cautious in crowded areas like the Meir shopping street and around the station at night, sticking to well-lit areas to avoid catcalling.
SourceFor a more local and quiet experience, explore Vlaeykensgang, a medieval alley that remains surprisingly silent despite its central location, or Sint-Anna Beach, which is off the usual tourist path.
SourceBeyond the standard quiet hours (10 PM - 7 AM), seek out the Kalmthoutse Heide an hour and a half away by train for a true three-star designated quiet area.
SourceBeyond the well-known specialty coffee spots, seek out Mono for unique flavors from London roasters, or Los Dos, which transforms into a cozy wine bar later in the evening.
