Overview of Antwerp's coworking scene
Antwerp is rapidly developing its flexible workspace offering. The city now has 18 coworking spaces strategically distributed between the historic center, near the Cathedral of Our Lady, and new business districts like Het Eilandje near the port. This concentration allows nomadic professionals and companies to easily find a space suited to their activities.
Daily rates vary from €25 to €50 depending on location and included services. The average price of €34 per day places Antwerp in an attractive range compared to other Belgian cities. Spaces located on Meir or around Groenplaats generally charge the highest rates, while those in residential neighborhoods like Berchem or Deurne offer more affordable prices.
Prime coworking districts
The historic city center concentrates several premium spaces, particularly around Grote Markt and in adjacent shopping streets. These locations offer a prestigious setting but can quickly fill up during peak hours. Professionals often favor these addresses for meeting clients or organizing business meetings.
Het Zuid is attracting more and more modern spaces, benefiting from the district's urban transformation. The proximity to KMSKA (Royal Museum of Fine Arts) and new real estate developments makes it a dynamic area. More affordable rents than in the city center allow operators to offer larger spaces and high-end equipment.
Transport and accessibility
Antwerp Central Station provides easy access from Brussels in 45 minutes or from Amsterdam in 1h15. Spaces near the station, within a 500-meter radius, benefit from this optimal connectivity. The De Lijn tram network efficiently serves all neighborhoods, making even more remote spaces accessible in less than 20 minutes from the center.
For car travel, spaces located near Antwerp's Ring Road offer direct access to highways toward Ghent, Hasselt, or the Dutch border. Several coworking spaces offer parking spaces, a service particularly appreciated in a city where parking remains complex.
Standard services and equipment
Most Antwerp spaces include in their daily rates high-speed wifi access, color and black-and-white print
Tech-oriented spaces, particularly present in the Zurenborg district, offer specialized equipment: external screens, multiple charging stations, or even testing spaces for hardware startups. This specialization responds to Antwerp's tech ecosystem, strengthened by the presence of incubators and digital companies.
Booking and flexibility
Online booking has become standard, with most spaces allowing immediate confirmation. Half-day slots (averaging €19) are increasingly popular, especially among consultants who alternate between remote work and client visits. This formula represents an interesting economic compromise for testing a space before a longer commitment.
Cancellation conditions vary by operator. Some accept free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance, others apply fees from confirmation. This information deserves verification before any booking, particularly for professionals with changing schedules.
