The food scene in Antwerp is best discovered on foot — start at Rubenshuis to taste what makes this city's culinary identity distinct. Tuck into lesser-known corners like Vlaeykensgang for the dishes visitors rarely find. From morning market runs to late-night street food, every neighborhood here has its own flavor.
Antwerp is a city of fashion, diamonds, and Baroque art, where Rubens's legacy meets cutting-edge design in a walkable historic center along the Scheldt River.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided food tour route in Antwerp. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Rubenshuis — the Baroque master's former home and studio, showcasing his art collection, lavish living quarters, and an Italianate courtyard garden, plus hidden gems like Vlaeykensgang — a hidden medieval alley connecting Oude Koornmarkt to Pelgrimstraat, one of the oldest passages in Antwerp and Cogels-Osylei — a residential street in Zurenborg with an extraordinary mix of Art Nouveau, Neo-Gothic, and eclectic townhouses.
Use this page as a starting point for a Antwerp walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Antwerp. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
While Antwerp is best known for fashion and art, stops like Rubenshuis sit alongside bakeries and cafes tucked into side streets — and quieter spots like Vlaeykensgang where the real locals eat. A food-focused walk connects the culinary landmarks with the places that reflect daily life, turning a sightseeing route into an edible discovery.
Start at Centraal Station and walk toward the river — this route takes you through the diamond quarter, shopping streets, cathedral, and waterfront in a natural flow.
May through September offers the best weather for walking, with summer bringing outdoor festivals and lively terrace culture along the Scheldt.
