Many shopping Sundays in Antwerp this month
Those who like shopping can go to Antwerp almost every day this December. This December month has no less than 3 shopping Sundays. The first shopping Sunday is tomorrow: on Sunday 4 December 2022. Most shops in the center of Antwerp will then open their doors. An ideal time for Sinterklaas to do the last shopping before the Sinterklaas party starts. You have to be able to handle pressure. It is expected that it will be quite busy open and around the Antwerp Meir this Sunday.
The next two shopping Sundays in Antwerp are set for Sunday, December 11 and Sunday, December 18 on the calendar. At that time, Sinterklaas is on his way back to Spain with his steamer and Santa Claus begins to make an appearance. Time to put yourself in new clothes for the Christmas party and to get the necessary presents. Top crowds are also expected in Antwerp for these two shopping Sundays. Parking can then be difficult, many parking spaces can be full after lunchtime. So be on time, or even better: come to Antwerp by train!
Sunday 25 December no shopping Sunday
There will be no shopping Sunday in Antwerp on Sunday 25 December. People then celebrate Christmas in Antwerp, just like we do. Good news: the Antwerp Christmas market and the Bird market are open on Sunday 25 December!
There will also be no shopping Sunday in Antwerp on Sunday 1 January 2023. It is New Year’s Day, which is also an official holiday in Belgium. Many shops in the heart of Antwerp open their doors on Sunday 8 January. They do this because of the winter sales that have been going on for several days.
