Considering a Move to Antwerp?

Moving to Antwerp from the UK

Antwerp sits in the Belgian province of Flanders, with a population of around 530,000. The city is home to the largest diamond centre in the world. Antwerp also has a strong artistic heritage, with deep connections to the painter Rubens.

Antwerp’s transport links are excellent. An eight-lane motorway circles the city, connecting to Brussels, Hasselt, Liège, Ghent, Lille, Bruges and Breda. Antwerp Central Station connects to both national and international European rail routes. That makes the city a practical base for anyone moving here.
