Borgerhout (Antwerp) - RumpusRoom location
Antwerp areas
Located on the eastside of Central Station you can find the area of BORGERHOUT, a place where I now live for more than 10 years and which I really really love. Sharing the positive vibe of the district, its locals and all their wonderful initiatives is why I started my guesthouse right here, in the heart of 'BOHO' as we call it. The neighborhood is a mix of many different cultures, marked by a large Arabic population, so if you like North African/ Middle-East snackbars and shops, TURNHOUTSE BAAN is your place. Once you turn into one of the many smaller streets you will feel a creative and young atmosphere. As the neighborhood is up-and-coming you will discover lots of cozy squares with bars and restaurants, start-up and pop-up shops, DIY galleries and local entrepreneurs... A mix of local seniors, hipsters, young families, kids and some lucky tourist discovering this surprisingly other, personal and small-scaled side of Antwerp. Hope you feel as much at home as I do...Don't worry, I help you guide through it...
Here some of my favorite tips...
