With its incredible museums, such as the renovated KMSKA (Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp), M HKA (Museum of Contemporary Art), FoMu (Photo Museum) and lots of galleries, lively Zuid has a chic, artistic appeal. The Waalsekaai and Vlaamsekaai are home to a number of exclusive design and interior businesses. Volkstraat focuses more on clothing and appealing catering concepts. The many bustling businesses in Zuid are popular with both young and old. They start the day with a leisurely breakfast or spend the evening exploring the many cosy restaurants and bars. Always something to experience in Zuid.

Thanks to the redevelopment of the Scheldt quays and the transformation of the Gedempte Zuiderdokken into a large park, this area offers a tremendous potential for establishing your business.
