This is my favorite place to go to – to escape the city quick – in nature. I love the Braem Pavillion a lot – built by Antwerp architect Renaat Braem in 1969.

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.

The best coffee place in Antwerp with a great interior designed by Petillon-Ceuppens Architects.

I like this place in summer a lot. They have a large outdoor place on the street. They serve nice food and good natural wines! they have their own coffee roastery as well (Kolonel Koffie)/

A swimming pool of Olympic length, also worth a vist for the architecture of the building
