Travel and transport agencies Antwerpen 6

Antwerp's sublime railway station is one of the most impressive in the country. Located in the heart of the city, it allows you to reach the historic centre on foot. There are many connections between Antwerp and other Belgian cities. The Thalys, which connects Paris to Amsterdam, also stops at Antwerp station. There is the possibility to buy a pass which includes the journey by train, public transport and an entrance to a site to visit. There are also 50% weekend fares, valid throughout the country, on a return ticket.

One of the most convenient addresses, especially since the company is present throughout Flanders and has lockers in all stations. Blue Bike allows you to rent bicycles at a lower cost after a train ride. You just have to swipe your card, which you will have made in advance. You just have to follow the indications to the bike point in the station. You can use the key dispenser (24 hours a day) or go to the branch during opening hours. One Blue-bike card allows you to rent two at a time.

Uber has recently set up shop in Antwerp, but good old-fashioned cabs still handle the majority of metered journeys. You'll find cab ranks at Sint-Pieters station, Dampoort station, near Korenmarkt and at Woodrow Wilsonplein. Be sure to book in advance, though, as cabs take a long time to come and are often in great demand, and it's not uncommon to wait 15 or 20 minutes for one to arrive. Hotel receptions are used to this and can take care of it for you.

This is the Flemish public transport company. Bus, metro and streetcar passes can be purchased in bookshops or from ticket machines at most stops. De Lijn also links Antwerp to many Flemish cities. Most of these buses leave from the central station, the Franklin Rooseveltplaats or the Groenplaats in the historic center. Please note that online tickets are more convenient, as they can be downloaded to your cell phone via an app, and tickets can no longer be purchased on board.
