Borgerhout, Administrative district in Antwerp, Belgium.
Borgerhout is a district in Antwerp divided into residential neighborhoods by a highway cutting through it. The Turnhoutsebaan runs through the area as the main commercial street where shops and services cluster.
The name appears in records from 1214 as Borgerholt in early documents. It remained independent until 1983, when it joined the city of Antwerp.
People from many backgrounds live here, speaking different languages and bringing diverse food traditions to the neighborhood. This mix shapes how the streets look and feel in daily life.
The area is accessible by public transport and located near museums and attractions across Antwerp. Visitors can move easily through the residential zones and experience the activity on Turnhoutsebaan.
Te Boelaarpark has transformed into a neighborhood gathering point, with new shops and venues appearing in recent years. The space now draws residents and visitors from across the city looking for a place to meet.
