Antwerp Sightseeing Bus
Discover Antwerp's historic city center when you take our amazing Sightseeing Bus tour. You can hop on and off as many times you want at any of the stops, making it easy for you to explore the monuments and landmarks at your own pace.
Routes and stops
The tourist bus follows two routes through Antwerp, both with a departure from the Central Station of the City.
Blue route
This one and half hour route stops at eight different locations including Rubenslei avenue where you will encounter the huge city park, Groenplaats square with its elegant theatres and museums, the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, St. Anna's Tunnel, Het Steen castle, and the state-of-the-art MAS Museum.
Green route
This line only operates on Saturdays in the summer and follows a shorter 45-minute route with 6 stops including the fabulous city park which is home to fascinating museums and colorful weekend markets. You can also hop off at the historical Market square which is home to the City Hall.

Options
When making the reservation, you can choose from the following three types of ticket:
- One-way ticket: allows you to take the bus from the stop of your choosing to the end of the route.
- 24-hour ticket: this ticket lets you hop on and off the bus as many times as you want, at the any of the stops.
- 48-hour ticket: includes the same benefits as the aforementioned ticket, but it valid for a period of 48 hours.
How it works
If you have chosen the one-way ticket, you can board the bus at any of the stops on either of the two routes. From that point, you can travel to another stop on the itinerary of your choosing.
If you have opted for a 24 or 48-hour ticket, the pass will be activated the first time you use the sightseeing bus service. From that moment, you can hop on and off at any of the stops on the two routes, for the purchased period of time.
