Antwerp, fashion and diamonds
A creative city on the Scheldt, Antwerp combines the legacy of Rubens, the diamond trade and a fashion scene recognised far beyond Belgium. With Atemia, you reach the city in a chauffeur-driven car and move from one district to the next without ever worrying about parking or one-way streets.
The day revolves around your priorities: window-shopping on the Meir and in the designer boutiques of the Nationalestraat, a visit to the diamond district next to Antwerp-Central station, or a cultural interlude between the Cathedral of Our Lady and the MAS. Your driver adjusts the route in real time, as your plans evolve.
The format appeals as much to business travellers as to art lovers: an appointment with a diamond dealer in the morning, the old town and the Brabo Fountain in the afternoon, then an effortless return to Brussels. Every address is served door to door, and your purchases travel safely in the boot.
A typical day

Planning your day trip
Can the day be devoted entirely to shopping?+
Of course. Some clients spend all their time in the shops of the Meir, the designer boutiques of the fashion district and the jewellers, without any sightseeing at all. Your purchases go into the boot as you go along, and your driver reworks the route as your plans change.
Several of us are coming to buy a diamond: which vehicle should we book?+
For two or three people, a Business or Prestige sedan offers discretion and comfort. For larger groups, the Van Business seats up to six, with room to talk things over calmly on the way. In every case, your driver drops you at the diamond dealer's exact address and waits close by.
Does the driver know good places in Antwerp?+
Our drivers are regular visitors to Antwerp and know where to have lunch near the Grote Markt, when the cathedral is at its quietest and how to reach the Eilandje without a detour. They are no substitute for a certified guide inside the sites, but their local knowledge makes your day run far more smoothly.
