about the design lover walk
Discover Antwerp with design as your compass.
Three carefully curated walking routes guide you through District Downtown, offering a surprising way to experience both Antwerp Design Week and the city.
From the historic centre, where you stroll past heritage sites and cobbled alleyways filled with hidden design gems. Through the elegant, artistic South, with its belle époque grandeur and creative flair.
To the vibrant Eilandje, where water, architecture and design blend seamlessly together.
The Design Lover Walks are the perfect way to explore ADW at your own pace, out in the open, with design woven into every step. Along the way, you’ll discover hidden gems, temporary or permanent installations, fashion hotspots and gastronomic stops — all infused with Antwerp’s design spirit.
For professionals, these walks offer an inspiring break between showroom visits in the other districts.
For design lovers, they’re a low-threshold way to connect with Belgian and international brands up close.
Start your Design Lover Walk and be surprised by design, the city and everything in between.
