Looking for a cozy city trip during the winter? Discover Antwerp in one of the most atmospheric periods of the year. From December 4, 2026, the city is all about Winter in Antwerp. The Grote Markt, Groenplaats, Scheldt Quays, and surrounding streets are atmospherically lit and filled with Christmas chalets, winter bars, and cozy activities. Stroll around the Christmas market, take a spin on the ice rink, admire Antwerp from the Ferris wheel, or head to the Meir for an afternoon of winter shopping. In January, the winter sales make a day of shopping extra appealing.

Even outside the Christmas market, there's plenty to experience. Take a winter walk through the historic center, visit one of the many museums, or warm up with a coffee or hot chocolate. Thanks to the central location of Van der Valk Hotel Park Lane Antwerp, within walking distance of Antwerp Central Station and the center, you can easily explore much of the city on foot.

After a cold day in Antwerp, it's lovely to come home to Park Lane. Warm up in the heated indoor pool, relax in the sauna, or enjoy a cozy dinner. Van der Valk Hotel Park Lane thus forms the ideal base for a luxurious winter city trip, romantic stay, or a cozy weekend getaway.
