• Stadspark - Stadspark Start-Up – Safety Spin & Old-Town Glide
  Meet the guide at Antwerp’s lush Stadspark, where four shiny Vespas are ready. After fitting helmets and explaining convoy signals, the guide takes you down a quiet side street for a quick throttle-and-brake practice, sharing expert tips from years of port scooter runs. With confidence built, you weave past gabled guild houses and hidden courtyards towards the Scheldt, experiencing the city’s history unfold at scooter speed.
• MAS - Museum aan de Stroom - Panoramic Prelude at MAS
  The port guide stops by the Museum aan de Stroom’s impressive terracotta tower and leads you to the riverside promenade. From this vantage point, you gain a first real insight into the port’s remarkable history, highlighting past challenges, distant crane forests, the world-record Kieldrecht Lock, and hidden chemical towers. It’s a vivid, storyteller’s briefing that turns the city-to-port journey ahead into a narrative you’ll follow in real time.
• Red Star Line Museum - Historic Docklands Drive – Het Eilandje & Red Star Line
  Cruising the old quays of Het Eilandje, you pass towering iron cranes—silent sentinels of Antwerp’s sail-to-steam heyday—and the guide points out their once-revolutionary gearwork as if opening a time capsule. At the red-brick Red Star Line Museum, they recount how millions boarded steamers here for New York, punctuating the tale with insider tidbits about cargo stowage, steerage life, and dockworker lore.
• Havenhuis - Havenhuis Vantage – Zaha Hadid Meets Historic Dry Docks
  Disembark at a quiet pier opposite the shimmering Havenhuis, its diamond-glass hull seemingly afloat atop a 19th-century fire station. Framed by the adjacent dry docks—now being transformed into the city’s Maritime Museum—the spot is a photographer’s dream. The guide decodes Hadid’s design choices and shares insider gossip on how the new museum will breathe life into these granite basins.
• Kastelweg - Oosterweel Contrast Drive – Medieval Spire vs. Europe’s Largest Wharf
  As you glide past the tiny 15th-century Oosterweel church, the guide draws your attention to the colossal construction yard right beside it—the Oosterweel works, currently Europe’s largest wharf, where tunnel segments for Antwerp’s long-awaited Ring closure are being cast. In a few animated sentences, they connect the dots between medieval river parishes, post-war port expansion, and today’s multi-billion-euro infrastructure overhaul.
• Noordkasteel - Katoen Natie Silos – Smart Logistics in Action
  Parking beside the towering white granulate silos of Belgian giant Katoen Natie, the guide explains how this family firm turned plastics handling into a data-driven art—using automated silos, on-site rail spurs, and real-time cargo tracing to shave hours off supply chains. En-route you’ve cruised past eye-catching freight: rainforest timber trunks, oversize turbine blades, even artfully shrink-wrapped machinery. The stop reveals how such diverse cargoes funnel smoothly through one brilliantly engineered hub.
• Oosterweelbrug - Timber-&-Fruit Quays – Scents of a Century-Old Port
  Roll into the heritage docks where Europe’s largest timber stacks and chilled fruit sheds still dominate. Depending on the day’s unload, the air may carry sweet banana and fresh-cut pine as forklifts zip between weathered warehouses. Crossing the wrought-iron “Wip-bruggen” bascule bridges—mechanical jewels from a bygone boom—the guide recounts how these quays once bustled with sailing ships and stevedores, connecting Antwerp to tropical plantations and Baltic forests.
• Lubeckweg - Container Canyon – Granite Giants & Europe’s Fruit Gateway
  The guide leads you through a maze of multicolored container stacks—steel towers so close you can read the box seals. On one side loom house-sized granite blocks awaiting export; on the other, refrigerated “reefer” racks hiss around Europe’s largest fruit terminal, ripe bananas and citrus moving from ship to supermarket in hours.
• Ettenhovendijkweg - Antwerp-North Hump Yard Drive-By – Rail Symphony in Motion
  Peer down on Antwerp’s vast marshalling yard, a spiderweb of tracks where up to a thousand wagons are reshuffled each day. The guide narrates the gravity-shunting ballet: locomotives push mixed trains over the “hump,” wagons roll downhill, laser sensors and track retarders brake each car, and computer-controlled switches slot them into new consists bound for Germany, France, or the Ruhr. If timing is right, you’ll watch the process live—a hypnotic clatter that completes the port’s road-rail-river triad.
• Noorderlaan - Kuifeend Nature Glimpse – Wetland Refuge Amid Steel And Concrete
  Park beside the reed-fringed ponds of Kuifeend and step off onto a short trail. In minutes you’ve swapped industry hum for birdsong: tufted ducks dabbling in mirror-calm water, marsh harriers circling overhead, and rare flowers sprouting between rip-rap. As you stroll, the guide explains how port engineers and biologists coordinate dredging cycles to protect nesting seasons—proof that Europe’s busiest docks can still cradle wild silence.
