Meir Boulevard, the retail chain promenade

Busiest point
This impressive boulevard is predominantly home to international chains. They display their collections or products like works of art in beautiful 18th and 19th-century rococo buildings. Without a doubt Meir is thé most popular shopping street in Antwerp, which means that virtually every shop is well frequented. This is mainly due to a good connection to the railwaystation and its adjacent student neighbourhood with more than 40,000 full-time students. This explains the wide range of lunch spots.
The Meir borders De Keyserlei, a lively street particularly popular with tourists. You will also find the renovated Antwerp Tower, a landmark offering many possibilities. The Century Center on De Keyserlei has been renovated and given an office, retail and catering function. On the first part of the Meir you will find the exclusive shopping centre Shopping Stadsfeestzaal with room for all kinds of businesses around the beautifully restored entrance hall. Thanks to this building's unique look, your brand immediately bathes in a luxurious atmosphere. A little further away you will find the Wapper, a square in the middle of the Meir Boulevard with a view to the entrance of the historic Rubens House. This square will be redeveloped in the coming years.
Many projects are still in the pipeline on and around the Meir. Among which the Boerentoren, Meir Corner and the Grand Bazar Shopping Center that will undergo considerable development. An additional campus has been opened in the Jezusstraat and in the long term the Karel de Grote Hogeschool will also provide additional students here, making the neighbourhood even more dynamic.
