Borgerhout

Borgerhout spans 3.93 square kilometers and contains residential areas divided by a highway, with Turnhoutsebaan serving as its central commercial street.

First documented in 1214 as Borgerholt, this area maintained independence until 1983 when it formally integrated into the municipality of Antwerp.

The district population includes 63 percent of residents with non-Belgian backgrounds, creating a mix of traditions, languages, and culinary experiences.

Residents access numerous museums and attractions through the Antwerp City Card, which provides entry to cultural sites across the metropolitan area.
