Neighborhoods in Antwerp

Zurenborg is a residential quarter southeast of the central station containing the most spectacular concentration of Art Nouveau, Neo-Renaissance, and eclectic architecture in Belgium. The star attraction is Cogels-Osylei, a boulevard of competing late 19th-century mansions.

The Meir is Antwerp's principal shopping boulevard, a wide pedestrianized street connecting Central Station to the old town. Its 19th-century facades house flagship stores, while the restored Stadsfeestzaal shopping arcade is an Art Nouveau-Renaissance gem.

Eilandje (Little Island) is Antwerp's revitalized harbour district north of the old city. Once a gritty docklands area, it has been transformed into a trendy quarter with waterfront restaurants, converted warehouses, the MAS museum, and the Red Star Line Museum.
