Open air sculpture museum with an impressive collection of sculptures and trees. Entrance to the park is free of charge, but they have a café and a small book shop if you do want to keep your money moving.

Right next to the art academy of Antwerp, this small café is a terrific place to sit down and enjoy the view of people passing by. Their coffee is very good and they also have a variety of ways to prepare it, if you're into that stuff.

My favourite second-hand clothing store ever. FREE'P'STAR has an entire floor where everything goes for 1€, which makes my Dutch heart beat as fast as the rock music that they blast over the speakers. The 1€ floor is like a Russian roulette: one day it's mostly leather bike suits, the other day it's seventies ball gowns, the next one glitter pants and sports shirts. Not just luck, but perseverance is key to succeed here. The conditions are feeble: the infamous 1€ floor has a low ceiling and is exclusively lit by blue neon, all clothes are dumped in big crates, and the small surface holds a big competition of moms/influencers/homeless that are equally looking for some game. For those who wish to spend more and don't like challenge, the ground floor is just a normal second-hand shop. But for those with the strength to survive, the 1€ floor is worth it. When I was living in Paris, I went to FREE'P'STAR every week, and I still visit every time I am around. Still in my wardrobe after years: a silk kimono with dragons, a reflective biking jumpsuit, a white blouse with a little house embroidered on it, a lined leather jacket and my favourite black dress. 5€.
