For a little more reasonable prices for the tourist wallet, you can go to Meir, Antwerp’s main shopping street. No cars are allowed to drive on the street, so you can stroll around well-known clothing stores such as H&M, Lush and Primark, while even small local shops take place in the 18th and 19th century buildings that adorn the street. In the heart of Meir you will find the large shopping center Stadsfeestzaal, here are the more luxurious shops, but what you will be most fascinated about is the large building in which the shopping center is located. This is an old event hall with high ceilings and gold paintings that really make the visit in the building for a unique and special experience.
