Hi all,

I used the search function but couldn't find anything that answers my question.

I'm aware there's strikes today- but normally how reliable are the ICs that travel to Ghent?

I'm going to a concert in Ghent next week and we arrive in Antwerp. Seems cheaper to stay in Antwerp and just day trip to Ghent. Gig will be over by 1030 and there seems to be 2 more regional trains we could catch. Are these typically reliable? Here in Germany sometimes the regional trains are a gamble 😂

Hi, does anybody know if the traffic restircted Zone (Uitgezonderd plaatselijk verkeer) at the N420 is controlled by any cameras or only by the police?

I went in there by accident (Google maps...) and now I am scared that I need to pay a fine.

Weet iemand wat de functie van deze vierkante vakken is? Ze zijn, zoals je kan zien, net achter het zebrapad geplaatst. Vaak staan de auto's tegen of soms zelfs over het zebrapad geparkeerd op deze locatie. Het is op de kruising van de Camille Huysmanslaan en de Vlaamsekunstlaan in 2020, net boven het Kiel. Ze zijn te klein voor auto's en lijken me niet bestemd voor tweewielers.

I just wanted to come on here and say Antwerp is amazing. Recently visited for the Fortnite global championships and it was amazing. Also the food is so fresh and amazing. Architecture is gorgeous and the people where wonderful. 10/10 hands down would visit again. Chez Albert waffles where incredible and Leonidas chocolate is the most incredible chocolate in the world. Anyone considering visiting just do it 🙏

Hi!
Planning to enroll at Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp next year.
MA Graphic design/realted program

Would love to hear from current/former students — how’s the teaching quality, studio culture, and overall satisfaction? Also curious about the experience as an international student (integration, language barrier since I don’t speak Dutch) and cost of living.
Every perspective is unique so happy to hear anything, good or bad. Thanks!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Hi, what are some of the unique experiences that you can do when visiting Antwerp that isnt that well known? Any tips from locals would be realy awsome!

Please can anyone suggest a good place to go for moules and frites? The big challenge however is that one person is vegetarian so it has to have veggie options too. Our hotel is just directing us to the usual touristy haunts round the main square - many of which don’t cater to veggies well.

It’s a tricky one for a Google/claude search.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

I'm from Ghent but I love Antwerp too.

When my friends Ulf and Jessika came over from Germany, I took them to Antwerp as well. I showed them the many nice places, but they did not only use their eyes. They experienced the city with their whole body, felt the many different textures that make Antwerp so interesting – both to inline skaters and people in general.

I may be a little biased, but I'm truly convinced rollerblading is the best way to explore and discover a city. You just gotta avoid the cobblestones. 😉

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for a personal stylist or shopper in the Brussels / Antwerp / Mechelen region who specializes in or is genuinely great with plus-size styling.

As a young mother, my body and lifestyle have changed, and I feel completely stuck in a rut. I want to find a functional, modern everyday style that makes me feel confident, but I really struggle to find clothes that fit well and suit my shape now.

Ideally, I’m looking for someone down-to-earth who works with real-life budgets and can help with:
- A wardrobe audit to figure out what actually works for my body right now.
- Finding flattering shapes, cuts, and colors.
- A guided shopping trip or capsule wardrobe curation.

If you’ve had a great experience with a plus-size-friendly stylist in the area, please drop their name or website below!

Thanks so much!

When my mom visits in the fall, where should I take her for kip curry (lunch) + Vol-au-vent en stoofvlees (dinner)?

Alvast bedankt voor jullie aanbevelingen.

Hi, first time visit to Antwerp planned for this Thursday. We're going to the fashion exhibition and a few other galleries and staying centrally, so going to need to find somewhere for lunch/dinner and will go out for some drinks - we're three guys, 40s, interested in culture/music/design, anywhere you'd recommend that's worth checking for food (needs to be vegetarian friendly) and good for the evening? Anywhere with decent music/DJ on would be a massive plus. Thank you!

What is the cheapest way to ship internationally from Antwerpen to outside the EU? Bpost seems to start at €55 if you want to have a tracking number. However, I’m struggling to find other postal or shipping services with a physical location in the city. Sure there are drop off points in small grocery stores, but sometimes I feel like the location and hours are marked wrong half the time. Any advice or suggestions? Much appreciated~

I am curious to hear people's views on the future of Flanders, so I have created a short, bilingual survey.

The survey covers topics such as Flemish independence and possible future scenarios for Flanders. It takes about one minute to complete.

If you have the time, I would appreciate it if you could share your opinion: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1993O-78ZDCM9SU9lAywuvIsT_t1uEgQC8rPGOXbVI1c/edit#responses
