Lara Jewels
Great place with unique digital show! Worth seeing!
Maarten Fauvart
Top concert venue in the heart of the city of Antwerp; it doesn't get much better than this in Belgium. Excellent acoustics and comfy seats. Plenty of public transport options and underground public parking nearby. Definitely worth a visit.
Mel Brooks
Absolutely stunning venue, very close to the Central Railway Station in Antwerp. The acoustics in the hall are excellent, the seats are very comfortable with very good views of the stage. Everything you would expect in a world class venue.
Rajesh Nair
Lovely and modern concert hall with excellent visibility to the main stage from all tiers of seats. Listened to Schubert and it was fantastic
Joke Naulaerts
Impressive music hall! Easy to find your way to your designated spot. Open area once you enter where you can order beverages before the show. Huge amount of toilets so you don't have to wait in line. Very nice interior design with a lot of woodwork. Feels cosy Chairs are not great.....people with a bad back or pelvic/hip problems better bring a cushion to sit on!
