"Your design surprise
in pocket size"
Three curated Design Lover Walks guide you along ADW Discover Points, must-visit hotspots, hidden gems, fashion stores and more.
Every stop is a surprise – from creative installations and pop-up exhibitions to unexpected encounters with designers. Design blends effortlessly with everything the city has to offer, from striking architecture to cosy coffee bars.
Discover Belgian talent and international voices in places you might otherwise walk right past.
You choose how to explore:
→ Follow one of our three carefully designed routes
→ Or create your own journey with the ADW app and let curiosity lead the way
Wander for hours or just pop in quickly – everything is possible.
With Love,
The ADW-team
