Last summer, we drove our EV from Oslo to London and back, stopping for various bits of time in 15 different European cities. For our 9th stop, we stayed for a few nights in Antwerp, a port city in Belgium.

While in Antwerp, we rented an apartment high up in a tall tower in the Eilandje neighborhood. This ended up being one of those fast-changing neighbourhoods with a lot of new, trendy apartment buildings and eateries (and, important for us, a parking house underneath the neighboring new hospital complex) popping up where much of the workings of the Port used to be.

The idea was to have a “home base” from which we could do a couple of day trips to other cities that were not too far away. This meant that we actually did not spend all that much time in Antwerp.

While much of the city of Antwerp remained unexplored by us (we will have to go back and see the city properly another time), we did check out our immediate neighborhood and I snapped some shots of some the modern buildings nearby, both from our high vantage point in the apartment and while on our local doggy walks.

Here are a few images of modern buildings we came upon in our Antwerp neighborhood.
