City Hall Antwerp
Welcome to the renovated City Hall (guided tour in Dutch) | individual ticket
During this guided theme tour (105 minutes) on the restoration and renovation of Antwerp Town Hall, your group will discover parts of this recently fully renovated monument that you don’t get to on more traditional tours. You will explore a new multi-purpose room in the basement and the impressive ‘Illuminated Floor’, where contemporary architecture and an integrated artwork show how successful and innovative the recent renovation of Town Hall really is. In addition, considerable attention goes to the restoration of the façades and to the impressive interior of the old Council Chamber.
Highlights of this rather exclusive tour include a visit to the Mayor’s Lounge, which is rarely open to the public, and the unforgettable tour of the Renaissance loggia, the panoramic balcony with an extraordinary view of the old town and the cathedral.

TIP: Does this guided theme tour seem a bit long or elaborate for your group? Or is anyone a little less mobile (there are a lot of stairs during this guided tour)? In that case, opt for the short guided tour ‘Welcome to the ‘Schoon Verdiep’’ and limit your visit to an unforgettable hour on the most beautiful floor of Antwerp’s restored Town Hall. Or perhaps your group mainly wants to learn about the art historical aspects of the Town Hall? If so, opt for the more classic extended guided tour ‘Welcome to the City Hall’ which focuses more on the history of Antwerp and Town Hall and also lets you spend an unforgettable hour on the renowned Schoon Verdiep. Please note: this does not include a visit to the ‘Verlicht Verdiep’ (Illuminated Floor), the loggia or the Mayor’s Lounge. So you’ll have to choose…
