Chocolate Nation
tasting & discovering
Warm up on a winter's day at Chocolate Nation, the chocolate museum right next to Antwerp Central Station and just a short distance from Van der Valk Hotel Park Lane Antwerp. Discover everything about Belgian chocolate, then visit the Chocolate Nation shop on the Grote Markt. Want to experience the city in a special way? Hop aboard the chocolate tram of the Antwerp Chocolate City Tour.
From the Grote Markt, it's just a short walk to the Meir for an afternoon of shopping.
Antwerp Zoo
Winter magic
Even in winter, ZOO Antwerpen is a special place to visit, within walking distance of Park Lane. By day you explore the animals and the historic park; after sunset, the light festival gives the zoo a whole new atmosphere. Stroll past colourful figures and surprising scenes, with a different theme every year, from Alice in Wonderland to dinosaurs. An outing children will love too.
End your visit at the winter bar with a snack or a drink.
