Thanks to its history and its popular tourist locations, Antwerp is one of the busiest and most important cities in Belgium. It also borders the Netherlands, making it an obligatory stop. For this reason, our hotels offer easy access to the Antwerpen-Centraal railway station.
Located less than 50 kilometers from the capital of Belgium, Brussels, Antwerp is a must-visit location for anyone who loves art – not just thanks to the impressive architecture found here, but also the paintings. In fact, Antwerp was home to the famous Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens.
The main square, known locally as Grote Markt, is a place of great historical relevance where you will also find Belgium’s largest Gothic cathedral, which dates back to 1124. Continuing your visit around the center, you will find another of the city’s most attractive squares: Groenplaats. This one has a more commercial use and is a good place to enjoy one of the most well-known Belgian products, beer, as you truly immerse yourself in the city’s social atmosphere.
A visit to the Diamond Quarter and its impressive museum is also a must when in Antwerp, as the city is considered the “World diamond capital”. You will be able to reach this area easily from the NH Collection Antwerp Centre hotel.
If you choose to stay in our hotel in Antwerp and would like to spend some time outdoors enjoying nature on your trip, the city center is home to the zoo. This is one of the oldest parks where as well as visiting the animals, you can learn about one of the country’s oldest botanical collections. You can also visit Stadspark, a green area which is a relaxed and quieter space.
Close to the hotel, there is also the Scheldt River where you could go for a relaxing walk or maybe even a boat ride. The features of the river on its way through the city allow sailing, enabling you to reach one of northern Europe’s most important commercial ports.
Without doubt, the city of Antwerp will be appreciated so much more when you stay in our hotels. That’s why we offer a unique stay on which you can make the most of your time in one of the country’s most important cities. Belgium awaits!
