1 Best Sight in Antwerp and the Northeast, Belgium

Havenhuis

Het Eilandje

One relatively recent addition to the dynamic Antwerp skyline is the Port House, home of Antwerp's Port Authority. Located at the northern end of Het Eilandje, the shiny diamond-shape lozenge on stilts actually rests on top of a beautifully restored old fire station. It was designed by renowned architect Dame Zaha Hadid, and completed shortly before her death in 2016. You can only visit the neo-futurist construction by arranging a group tour (Tuesday, Thursday, and the first Saturday of each month only), which costs a hefty €150 per group, but its stunning exterior appearance has made it a noteworthy showstopper even if you don't go in.
