Description by the author

There’s no better way to explore a city than by bike. Especially if that city is called Antwerp and is slightly groaning under road works and 'cutting'. Antwerp has long had a bike route that leads visitors on their steel horse past the main architectural highlights in and around the city, but it has now received a facelift. The renewed Architecture Route still takes you past classics like the Central Station and the Cathedral of Our Lady, but it also touches on more recent 'landmarks' such as the new Havenhuis, the Seefbier brewery, and the park bridge in Park Spoor Noord. On the way, there are also lesser-known surprises, such as the church ship – a parish church in an old German tank ship – in the Houtdok and the only house of the world-famous architect Le Corbusier in Belgium. The renewed bike route comes with a renewed bike plan. It not only shows you the way but also shares fun facts about the sights along the way. Photographer and local Noortje Palmers also provides free tips for taking original photos of the buildings – just the way Instagram likes it. You can pick up the plan for free at one of the visitor centers of Visit Antwerp. The total route is 30 km long and fully signposted. For those who want to be on the road for a shorter time, there is a shorter alternative of 16 km. The starting point and endpoint are the Grote Markt, but you can of course also hop on somewhere along the way.
