Where to stay in Stuivenberg
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Stuivenberg keeps few rooms. Antwerp's centre carries most of the city's rooms, a short ride south, and staying in Stuivenberg means trading that choice for quiet streets and a shorter walk to the Turnhoutsebaan. Borgerhout begins a few blocks east. The grid runs north until it stops at Park Spoor Noord, which gives the quarter its one wide opening, and the side streets off the hospital stay quiet after dark.

About Stuivenberg
What are the main landmarks in Stuivenberg?
No monument marks the middle of Stuivenberg. The quarter's own landmark is its hospital, which gives the name its narrower reading and orders the streets that run off it. Park Spoor Noord closes the northern side, and the shopfronts of the Turnhoutsebaan and the Carnotstraat carry the everyday trade along the south.
The big draws lie elsewhere. Het Steen and Antwerp Zoo sit south of the quarter, close enough for an afternoon and far enough that Stuivenberg keeps its own quiet.
What is the history of Stuivenberg?
Two names cover one piece of ground. Antwerp lists Stuivenberg and the Seefhoek as separate quarters, yet they run into each other without a boundary anyone can draw, and in common speech the whole of it answers to the Seefhoek. Usage split the difference.
Stuivenberg came to mean the blocks around the hospital, while the Seefhoek stretched wider, sometimes taking in a piece of the Amanduswijk on the western side. Antwerpen-Noord holds both.
Where is Stuivenberg?
Stuivenberg lies in Antwerpen-Noord, north of the Turnhoutsebaan and short of Park Spoor Noord, with Borgerhout east and the Amanduswijk west.
