Need refreshments? Go for a drink on Antwerp’s patios

Hot, hotter, hottest. The summer sun has finally made an appearance and is here to stay (hopefully). But, after a few hot days in a row, the temperatures in the city are on the rise. What better way to cool down than with a refreshing drink on the patio of a nice café? Maybe with a small bite to keep up the energy levels? Luckily, Antwerp is brimming with cosy terraces and patios, but we would like to introduce you to some of our favourites.
