Antwerp is a pocket-sized metropolis: compact and easy to navigate, even on foot if you feel like it. Approximately 1/5 of the historic city centre is a pedestrian zone and pedestrians have priority during many of the city's summer events. If you need to move at a faster pace, jump on a tram or bus operated by the Flemish public transport company, De Lijn. Fast, flexible and convenient, its got Antwerp covered!
If you are partying the night away on Friday and Saturday and still want to get home safely, the De Lijn trams run an hour later, tying in with the night time buses. The night buses leave from Antwerp-South at 1.25 a.m. and 3.30 a.m. respectively and at 1.45 a.m. and 3.30 a.m. from Rooseveltplaats.
If you aren't quite ready to head home, you can always use a TOV ticket (Taxi-Public Transport ticket), giving you a 2 € discount on your taxi ride home.
The Velo city bikes are a form of public transport: they bring you anywhere you like quickly and can easily be combined with train, tram and bus.
The bikes are ideal for short distances in the city. That way, a maximum number of people can use them. The first half hour of each ride is included in the registration fee. Longer rides incur an extra fee. If you intend to cycle for half a day or a day, we suggest you approach another bike hire operator.
Hiring a bike is simple. You can buy a year, week or day pass. Those can be ordered from: www.velo-antwerpen.be
The Velo customer service desk (Kievitplein 7) is open from Monday to Thursday from 11 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. and on Fridays from 9 a.m. to 3.00 p.m. (closed on Saturdays and Sundays). They can also be contacted by telephone on +32 3 206 50 30
