The Most Beautiful Parks In Antwerp

As one of Belgium‘s major cities, Antwerp is widely known for its outstanding shopping facilities, exquisite restaurants and luxury hotels. However, Antwerp has a great choice of green spaces to offer within the constraints of the city. They are a great place to relax, read a book, enjoy a picnic or play with your children. See our list below.

1. Den Brandt Park

Park, Archaeological site

Den Brandt park belongs to the famous Den Brandt Castle – a 14th century estate with outstanding garden facilities. At the time, Den Brandt Park was primarily used as a garden of pleasure for noble families in the city. Today, Den Brandt park is owned by the city of Antwerp and open to the general public everyday. The statue of dancing nymphs is especially popular with tourists and is a prime location for wedding photos. The garden itself is divided into two parts, each representative of a different style; the park in front of the castle was designed in a classic French style, whereas the part behind the castle can be seen as a traditional English garden.
