Inness Brand
★★★★★3 years agoOne of my favourite spot in Antwerpen! Amazing view! Such a cozy sitting places made exactly with love, you even can lay down there. Not really far from the centre, around 15 min drive bicycle and exactly worth it! Recommend for morning yoga, cozy time for yourself and beautiful awesome sunset! The best spot! No worries here not many people usually now)
Pavel Koroš
★★★★★2 years agoNice and calm park next to the river. Was there afternoon and it was not that much crowded. Probably one of the greatest places to watch sunset in Antwerp. Really nice and relaxing park. There are trash bins so make sure after you leave to clean after you and leave it as cleaner possible. Another gem of this city. There is also park for your pets nearby.
