Looking for accommodation during your stay at Antwerp Summer and Winter University?
Antwerp has many different accommodation options to offer, ranging from student rooms over youth hostels to classic hotels. This winter school takes place at Stadscampus of the University of Antwerp. This campus can be reached from the city center by bike or public transport. Please be sure to check the distances before you book.
We provide all accepted students with a list of housing options in different price categories and at different locations, but all participants are free to choose their accommodation.

Getting there
Antwerp is located in the centre of Belgium and is easily accessible by plane, train, car and bus. The international airport of Brussels (Zaventem) is the most frequently used gateway to Antwerp, but you might also want to consider the low-cost airport of Brussels South (Charleroi).
Antwerp is also very easy to reach by train. International railway lines link Brussels and Antwerp to several other major European cities.
Lastly, Eurolines and Flixbus buses also frequent the city centre of Antwerp, which might be the cheapest option to get here.
