The Schipperskwartier, while unique, shares characteristics with areas like the historic city centre and Het Eilandje.
The historic city centre, particularly around the Cathedral of Our Lady and the Grote Markt, offers a similar blend of old-world charm and modern amenities. You'll find a wide selection of hotels, from boutique options in restored guildhouses to larger, well-known brands. The area is very walkable, with cobblestone streets leading to museums, high-end shopping on Meir, and countless restaurants and bars.
For couples, the historic city centre provides a romantic backdrop with its magnificent architecture and horse-drawn carriage rides. Strolling through the narrow alleys, discovering hidden courtyards, and enjoying dinner with a view of the cathedral creates memorable evenings. It's also incredibly convenient for sightseeing, with most major attractions within easy reach.
Het Eilandje, a revitalised old docklands area, is another excellent option. It's known for its contemporary architecture, the MAS museum (Museum aan de Stroom), and its waterside setting. This district has a more modern, open feel than the historic centre, with stylish apartments, trendy eateries, and art galleries.
Solo travellers often appreciate Het Eilandje for its modern vibe and accessibility. The area is well-connected by public transport, and its open spaces and waterfront promenades are pleasant for walks or runs.
