We have specifically built this map to be your personal guide to Antwerp Art Weekend, as a tool where you can draw your own routes, write notes, and mark the venues you visited to get the most out of your AAW-experience.

You don't need a ticket to visit Antwerp Art Weekend. All participating locations can be visited free of charge, with the exception of some museums. You can find more information on where ticketing applies, on our venues page.

Antwerp is a pocket-sized city and many of Antwerp Art Weekend's locations are within walking distance from one another. But if you'd like to get somewhere fast or farther, a bike or public transport is the way to go.

There are a number of ways to reach the city from abroad, as Antwerp is conveniently located between Brussels, Paris, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, London and Cologne.

You can find more information on transportation to, and around Antwerp here.

During Antwerp Art Weekend, we strive to create a safe and comfortable environment for everyone.

If you're a person who uses a wheelchair or uses other alternative means of mobility or communication, let us know and we’ll do everything we can to accommodate your visit.

Do you sometimes feel anxious visiting public events or is there something that worries you, and would you like to prepare your visit? Let us know and we’ll provide you with more information and details on what you can expect.

Antwerp Art travaille actuellement à la mise en place d'une plateforme accessible et multilingue pour l'Antwerp Art Weekend. Cependant les budgets étant limités, il s'agit d'un projet à long terme que nous espérons mener à bien dès que possible.

Antwerp Art arbeitet derzeit an einer barrierefreien, mehrsprachigen Plattform für das Antwerp Art Weekend. Da die finanziellen Mittel jedoch begrenzt sind, handelt es sich um ein langfristiges Projekt, das wir so bald wie möglich abschließen möchten. In der Zwischenzeit haben wir uns entschieden, unsere allgemeine Kommunikation weiterhin auf Englisch zu führen, um ein möglichst breites Publikum anzusprechen. Wenn Sie Unterstützung in einer anderen Sprache benötigen, besuchen Sie bitte unseren Info-Point im M HKA, wo Ihnen gerne jemand so gut wie möglich weiterhilft, damit Sie loslegen können.
