Bike Tour: South Antwerp and Zurenborg
Explore neighborhoods outside the historic center, filled with unique townhouses and stunning architecture
The Zuid district is one of Antwerp’s most vibrant neighborhoods. It’s a place where elegant townhouses meet contemporary architecture, all wrapped in a lively atmosphere. The tour begins at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts (KMSKA). From there, you’ll explore the area’s charming streets, modern landmarks like the new courthouse, and the renovated Scheldt Quays with stunning river views.
Want to include New Zuid in your tour? You can! Just opt for the extended 3-hour version.
Antwerp South & Zurenborg (2 hours)
Antwerp is so much more than just its historic center. Hop on a bike and join us as we explore Zuid district. This area is packed with trendy streets, cozy squares, and the stunning Royal Museum of Fine Arts (KMSKA).
We’ll also take you to Zurenborg, a neighborhood full of charm and surprises. The stately façades of Cogels-Osylei look like they’re straight out of a fairytale, and the rest of the area is brimming with a warm, inviting vibe, complete with cafés perfect for a quick break.
And let’s not forget Groen Kwartier. Once a military base, it’s now a peaceful residential area filled with greenery and culinary hotspots.
Antwerp South & Zurenborg (3 hours)
This tour is an extended version of the 2-hour tour: you’ll experience everything from the shorter route (Zuid, Zurenborg, and the Groen Kwartier), but at a more relaxed pace.
As a bonus, you’ll also get a brief exploration of Nieuw Zuid. In this modern district, you’ll discover a perfect blend of innovative architecture and green spaces.
Our XL tours mean more stories, more stops, and most importantly, more of Antwerp.

What if it rains?
Here’s the good news: in Belgium, it only rains about 8% of the time. Most of the time, you’ll stay dry. But let’s be honest, that doesn’t help much if your group happens to get caught in the rain. If there’s a chance of rain, we’ll make sure your tour doesn’t get ruined:
- We’ll provide free disposable ponchos to help you brave the weather.
- Our guides will adjust the route to minimize how wet you become.
- You can cancel or reschedule for free up to 24 hours in advance.
- Prefer to stay off the bike? You can swap your Antwerp By Bike tour to a walking tour with Walking in Antwerp at no extra cost. If the walking tour costs less, we’ll refund the difference.
Where is the starting point for the tours?
All Antwerp by Bike bike tours start and finish at Vleminckstraat 15a, next to PRINTSHOP and close to the Groenplaats. We kindly ask to arrive 10 minutes early to choose your bike and get ready for the ride.
How can I book a private tour for fewer than 8 people?
If you book a private tour for fewer than 8 people, you’ll still pay the price for 8 participants. That’s why you need to select 8 participants during the booking process.
- For anyone who needs a bike, choose “Person – Including bikes.”
- If someone doesn’t need a bike, select “Person – Excluding bikes.”
- For groups with fewer than 8 participants, fill in the remaining spots with placeholder participants. Always select these placeholders as “Participants – Excluding bikes.”

We really enjoyed our tour of Antwerp-South and Zurenborg. All thanks to our pleasant guide Dirk with his many facts and anecdotes! We had been to Antwerp many times before, but through this bicycle tour, we discovered a beautiful part of Antwerp that was unknown to us.
