IJzerlaan Bicycle Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The old IJzerlaan bridge over the Albert Canal was replaced in 2017 by a new bicycle and pedestrian bridge. The new bicycle bridge connects seamlessly with the bicycle routes to and around the city, such as the Ringfietspad, the Singelfietspad and the bicycle ostrade from Antwerp to Essen.

Fountains at Park Spoor Noord

Highlight • Rest Area

In 2005 they started creating the urban landscape park Park Spoor Noord on the spot where trains used to run. Only three old train buildings and two historic water towers remain of the old railway yard. The rest has been completely renewed!

Port House Antwerp

Highlight • Monument

One of the architectural pearls of Antwerp is the Port House. This trendy building with roots in the past is the new headquarters of the Antwerp Port Authority. The Havenhuis is an innovative workplace for more than 500 employees. You can also visit the building with a guide and enjoy the panoramic view of the harbor and the city. The past and future of the port of Antwerp come together in the Port House. The lower part used to be a fire station at the very tip of the harbour. This beautiful barracks was retained during the renovation and is now referred to as the start of the extensive port area. There is no clearer symbol of the growth of the port of Antwerp. Together with a striking and contemporary superstructure in the shape of a diamond, a monumental design by the famous architectural firm Zaha Hadid Architects, the building forms the entire Port House. It is thus a metaphor for the port of the 21st century: a port with a rich past that is ready for the future.

You can discover the largest and most impressive collection items of the MAS on the Scheldt quays, free of charge and for nothing. There you will find the largest museum collection of harbor cranes in the world.

Bonaparte Dock, Antwerp

Highlight • Monument

Napoleon wanted to develop Antwerp as a war port to defeat England. In 1803 he gave the order to build two docks in the Nieuwstad. Under the leadership of Engineer Mengin, two rivers were drained and the Boerenkwartier demolished. 2000 workers and prisoners of war excavated more than 1,000,000 m³ of soil. On January 1, 1811, the first ship entered the dock through the Bonapartes lock. After the fall of Napoleon, the docks were given a trading function. William I donated them to the city. From 1903, the Klein Dock was renamed the Bonaparte dock, which is today a museum dock.

Antitank Canal

Highlight • River

The Antitankgracht was constructed just before the Second World War to stop German tanks. Fortunately, that is no longer necessary today, but it does provide us with a nice location to cycle through.
