Linkeroever

Discover your new favourite restaurant, bar, pub or bistro on Linkeroever. Visit the river Scheldt’s left bank.

Looking for something different? Want to see Antwerp’s skyline from afar or maybe hit the beach? Then you need to be on Linkeroever.

Sure, the right bank of the Scheldt River is amazing, but it can get busy. Cross the river and discover the city’s quieter, greener side. The classic way? The pedestrian tunnel that every local knows. It’s a long underground passage connecting the city centre to Linkeroever, complete with wooden escalators that give it a charming 1930s vibe.

Not in the mood for walking? Hop on the metro or take the ferry. A short boat ride on the Scheldt gives you a whole new perspective of Linkeroever. You can board at the dock near ‘t Steen.

Once you’re on the left bank, Antwerp looks completely different. You get a stunning view of Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal and Boerentoren rising proudly above the city. The best way to enjoy that skyline? Grab a seat on one of the many terraces. Order a cold Belgian beer or dive into a pot of mussels with fries. Afterwards, stroll along the marina. This beautiful spot is where sailors feel right at home.

You can’t say Linkeroever without Sint-Anneke: Antwerp’s beloved city beach. Sunbathers, day trippers, and families gather here to relax and forget about the daily grind. It’s also perfect for a family day out. Kids can go wild at the minigolf course, the outdoor swimming pool, or one of the many playgrounds.

Cyclists love Linkeroever too. Belgium and biking go hand in hand, and this neighbourhood is often the starting point for safe and scenic cycling routes. This thanks to the many cycle junctions placed in the area.

If you’re heading to Linkeroever, you’ll probably end up walking along Wandeldijk at some point. Need a break and a bite? Stop by De Zeester. With a view over the Scheldt, it’s the perfect place to soak up the calm atmosphere of Linkeroever.
