LGBT

Antwerp is an open and tolerant city that’s popular with LGBT people and their friends. It has previously hosted gay-friendly events such as the Eurogames, the World Outgames and the IGLTA Conference. The Antwerp Pride festival attracts many visitors every summer, as does the monthly Studio 54 party in Red&Blue. Antwerp has many advantages during the day, too: it is the country’s leading shopping city, and the Antwerp fashion and diamond sectors are well known beyond the borders. Find out how gay-friendly Antwerp is here.

Overview

Antwerp has had a strong reputation for years as a fantastic shopping city. It has enormous diversity, the different shopping areas are within walking distance of one another, and the historic buildings and pede strian streets make window-shopping an experience in itself. Shops specifically for LGBT people include ’t Verschil bookshop, Plan B, Man Playz and others.
The monthly Studio 54 party, Café de Love, The Boots, dance cafés of all sizes... There are plenty of options in Antwerp for a wild night with kindred spirits. And of course there are discos, clubs and pop-up parties t hat do not specifically target LGBT people but are of equally legendary status.
Antwerp ranks high on the list of gay-friendly cities, thanks to its extensive gay community whose gathering place is Het Roze Huis, a non-profit organisation that brings together more than 30 affil iated associations. But also thanks to the gay-friendly environment in Belgium: same-sex couples have been able to get married since 2003 and to adopt children since 2006.
