Vlak buiten Antwerpen en trouwens goed bereikbaar met het openbaar vervoer vind je Wijnegem…read moreshopping center. Dit is het grootste overdekte shoppingcenter van België met 240 winkels, een winkeloppervlakte van 57.000 m2 verspreid over 3 verdiepen en een parkeerplaats voor 1500 wagens.

I find Wijnegem shopping centre a very pleasant place. Friday it stays open until 9 pm, which I…read morereally like because people who come from work or school have enough time to spend there. You don't have to worry about the parking, because there is a really big parking. It's a very nice place, because they adapt to the holidays. Now that it's Christmas there is a very beautiful Christmas tree. There are so many shops like Footlocker, Zara, New look and many more shops. And if you get hungry after all that shopping you also have so much choice what you could eat there.The employees there are also very friendly. It has 4 floors so you can easily get lost, but it has a big screen on each floor with the groundplan on it, which I find very useful when I'm looking for a store. The toilets are very clean. In the winter it's warm and in the summer it's fresh. unfortunately there are only a limited amount of trams and buses that go there. On some days there are a lot of people and it's very busy. If you are looking for a place to spend a day with your family, Wijnegem shopping centre is definitely a must.

After a few minutes of "wowing", you immediately realize something off..There are no luxury stores at all! This is the perfect spot for the big name brands, yet they bring is lackluster stores that barely would attract many at all, big disappointment. If you are a regular shopper, it is a decent stop, but for someone like me who just is not into it, I ended up staying for half an hour before moving on. End result, shock and awe, followed by a few photos and running for the near exit.

When you visit Antwerp you can't skip this place, it's amazing! Get the VIP feeling @ the Laurent…read morePerrier Champagne Bar, take a glass of Millésimé with some caviar or fois gras on a toast... Or, like we did, a tapa mix of 18€, a very good deal :)
