Frequently asked questions

Question 1

Which airport serves Antwerp?

Accepted Answer

Antwerp is served by Antwerp International Airport, IATA code ANR, ICAO code EBAW, also known as Deurne Airport. The airport is located around 5 km east of the city centre and operates from 06:30 to 23:00. It is a compact airport with a single terminal, 8 check-in desks, and 2 boarding gates, specialising in charter and business flights. Due to its short runway of 1,510 m, the airport cannot accommodate aircraft larger than a Boeing 757. It is worth noting that Brussels Airport (IATA: BRU), around 40 km to the south, offers a much wider range of international flights and is frequently chosen by passengers from Antwerp. Buses 51, 52, and 53 connect Antwerp Airport to Berchem railway station. Book your ticket and land at the gateway to the diamond capital of the world.

Question 2

How do you get from Antwerp airport to the city centre?

Accepted Answer

The airport is 5 km from Antwerp city centre, and the journey takes around 15 minutes by car. De Lijn buses 51, 52, and 53 connect the airport to Berchem railway station, from where you can continue by train or tram to the centre. Taxis are available at the terminal exit and reach the centre in 10 to 20 minutes depending on traffic. Car rental is available at the airport, but bear in mind that central Antwerp has a Low Emission Zone (LEZ), and vehicles with foreign number plates must be registered online in advance. Brussels with its main international airport is reachable by train from Antwerp Central Station in 35 minutes. Book your ticket and plan your arrival without any stress.

Question 3

Is Antwerp safe to visit?

Accepted Answer

Antwerp is a safe destination for tourists and is generally considered safer than Brussels and other major European capitals. Violent crime against visitors is rare, and the historic centre, Meir area, Grote Markt, and Eilandje are well lit and busy. Antwerp ranks 13th safest city in Europe for solo female travellers, with an overall rating of 4.8 out of 5. The main risks are pickpocketing around Central Station and on Meir shopping street. One specific aspect of Antwerp is the activity of drug trafficking gangs linked to the port: violent incidents between rival groups do not target tourists, but it remains wise to avoid isolated peripheral areas at night. Belgium maintains a terrorism threat level of 3 out of 4, similar to other western European countries. Book your ticket and discover the diamond capital of the world.
