Port of Antwerp on wheels
Discover the port of Antwerp by bike
A challenging and often unknown territory.
Just about anything you can imagine comes our way through the harbour...
fruit, wood, steel, cars, electronic devices, toys, coffee, tobacco and so much
more...
Docks, locks, bridges, terminals, container ships, cranes, yellow elephants, driving hangers, a floating Brabo, ... you meet them all.
We outlined 3 tours, one on the right bank (40km), one on the left bank (45km) or go for a total experience and discover both the right and left bank of the Scheldt (55 km).
Or just taste the port with a 20 km trip ...
