 Recreation in Antwerp's largest park |
Turnhoutsebaan 246 Antwerp 2100 Belgium +32 3 360 5200 http://www.rivierenhof.be/ |
Take tram 10 to Deurne and visit the Rivierenhof (garden of rivers) and you'll discover a splendid sanctuary where recover from the hustle and bustle of the city. You can hire a boat at this park, which is criss-crossed with small canals or take a stroll in the rose garden. From May onwards, the rhododendrons are really beautiful. This park also has a classicist castle (1777) and a monumental open-air theatre that is used in the summer for screening films and for theatrical and musical performances. There is also a recreational area for the kids. Admission is free, except during open-air performances. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Provincial museum and park |
Hooftvunderlei 160 Antwerp 2100 Belgium +32 3 360 5252 http://www.sterckshof.be/ |
Sterckshof is a museum and park situated just outside Antwerp in Deurne. The castle with a mote was originally built in the 14th and 15th century, and belonged to Jan Sterck. The current building was constructed from 1927 to 1929 in light red brick in neo-traditional style. From a distance it reminds you of one of those Disney fairy tale castles. Within the historical framework of the castle you can see an impressive collection of silversmith's work. When you've finished the tour you can take a relaxing walk in the beautiful park. Admission: is free. Guided tours for groups are available upon request. Review © 2007, Wcities |
