Belgium · BIKE TOURS IN ANTWERP
Good bike tours in Antwerp fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 6 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Ride through Antwerp’s historic center with an English or Dutch-speaking guide from Antwerp by Bike. In two hours, you’ll see the cathedral, city hall, Steen castle, Central Station, the old port, and MAS museum area. Guides such as Dirk, Leo, Filip, and Nils add stories, humor, and local tips while you cover more ground than on foot.
“Bikes were in good condition, nice way to see the city, not overly exciting guide.”
Ride through Antwerp with a local guide on a two-hour English-language bike tour. You’ll see Antwerpen-Centraal, Het Steen, and the MAS, while guides such as Marc, Paul, Neil, and Inge have added local stories, practical tips, and hidden details along the way. Bikes and local taxes are included.
“Marc led us on a fantastic tour of the city and even though we were late to the meeting point he still provided us with a really informative tour that no doubt could have gone on for many more hours. Many thanks.”
Ride through Antwerp for about three hours with a local guide such as Steven or Christine. The route can include the old town, MAS, dockyards, the South district, Art Nouveau streets, rooftop views, and the tunnel beneath the Scheldt. Choose a standard ride or add beer, chocolate, or fish tastings.
“3 hours on a bike was over in the blink of an eye. All on the flat so really relaxing and Christine was an amazing guide. Very knowledgable and I feel we got a really rounded view of what Antwerp has to offer along with a few hidden gems we’d have never seen on our own. ShRead more”
Start near Antwerp Central Station and pedal through the Jewish Quarter, Cogels-Osylei, Groen Kwartier, the historic center, and Park Spoor Noord. Your guide, possibly Jonah, Nicolas, Niklas, or another local, sets an easy pace and explains the city’s architecture, river, port, and neighborhoods. Regular bikes are included, with e-bikes available if offered.
“Very informative - provides an excellent overview of a fascinating city!”
Ride a standard city bike through Antwerp with a local guide such as Jona, Nicolas, or Frithjof. This three-hour outing links grand architecture, Belle Epoque streets, the old port, and newer neighborhoods. It suits first-time visitors, families, and anyone who wants local context beyond the historic center.
“My boys loved it! If you’re traveling with children, this is the tour to go for! There are lots of bikes to choose from in the store including kids bike. Tour guide is very informative and funny too! All the participants are well taken care of. We had a lovely day out!”
Ride through Antwerp with a local guide for two hours, passing the Cathedral of Our Lady, Grote Markt, Het Steen, side streets, and modern city sights. The route can include a free ferry crossing and the pedestrian tunnel beneath the river. Bikes, water, baskets, ponchos, helmets, and child seats are available.
“Really good me and my family really enjoyed it you got a bottle of water half way around but make sure you ask when offered. Definitely saw parts that we wouldn’t have seen if we hadn’t done the bike ride. Personally I found it a little tiering legs hurting the next day but if you have decent fitness you will be fine. Guide was good and friendly. Bikes were good and the guide was happy to give you a basket and take photos whenever you wanted. Was really fun going over on the free ferry and having a lovely pic view. Would definitely recommend and would go again!Read more”
Pick a canal, a cellar or a bench.
