    The ANTWERP DIAMOND BUS is the ideal way to explorethe city without effort.You get on and off at any of the stops an unlimited number of times for 24 hours after first use. On presentation of your ticket you have discount in museums and other sights.However we explored the entire city on foot as it is quite compact

    In every underground station in Antwerp you can buy tickets from the automatic vending machines. You can buy, one way tichets, city passes or even passes for the whole of Flanders. Also tickets for groups and special events. The tickets can be used for public transport by DE LIJN. De lijn is the company that carries ou the public transport for Flanders.

    In the early sixties when there was enough money to spend, they decided Antwerp and it surroundings should have a metro. Upon till now only a few kilometers are in use. Only the tram lines 2, 3 and 15 make use of it. I must say its a fast way of transportation.

    In Antwerp you can take one of the following ten "De Lijn" trams:

    -2 GREEN Hoboken-Linkeroever
    -3 YELLOW Merksem-Zwijndrecht
    -4 LIGHT BLUE Hoboken-St. Pietersvliet
    -7 DARK BLUE Mortsel-St. Pietersvliet
    -8 ORANGE Eksterlaar-Lambermontplaats
    -10 GREEN Deurne-Melkmarkt
    -11 WHITE Eksterlaar-Melkmarkt
    -12 RED Wim Saerensplein-Schoonselhof
    -15 WHITE Mortsel-Linkeroever
    -24 PINK Silsburg-Zuidstation

    Each line has its own colourcode.

    Lines 2, 3 & 15 are partly underground in the premetrotunnel.

    The tram driver sells single tickets, which are more expensive than pre-sold ticket at other locations. If you want to buy a ticket from the driver, open the frontdoors yourself by pushing the OPEN button.

    When we visited Antwerp for the museumnight we spend the night in Mortsel in the garden of irisbe and diamonddog. To get to and around Antwerp we took the tram from Mortsel. We bought a tof ticket which gave us a refund on the taxi fair when we returned at night. The fair of the ticket (1,50 Euro per ticket) was reducted from the taxifair.
    We had to take the taxi because trams stop service late at night.

    Well Antwerp has a large and good network
    of busses , trams and underground stations

    A ticket cost you 1 euro and you can travel for
    an hour. Even when you jump over for a
    different line. (just put the ticket again in the
    yellow machine)
    If you did something wrong , it will make a lot
    of noise and everybody will look at you. ;-)

    A ticket for 10 rides cost you 7,5 euro. You
    can buy them at machines in the
    underground at some papershops and at the
    store of 'de lijn'. The local company at the
    franklin Rooseveltplaats. This is also the
    place where all the busses gather together
    for the regional transport.

    I'm sorry we don't have plans like they have in
    paris or in London. But just ask the belgians.
    They are mostly very helpfull and we do
    speak our languages.

    Taxis are quit expensive and the first tram is
    riding about 5 or 6 in the morning (depends
    which one) and the last one around midnight
    or later. And then there are nightbusses.
    (very low frequency and hard to find out were
    they are going - but just choose a hotel in the
    center)

    The bus station of DE LIJN is located in the heart of the city. Here you find most of the busses that go in every direction to the surroundings of Antwerp. On the picture you see the south part of the bus station located at the opera.The address is Franklin Rooseveldplaats

    In Antwerp, the tram/metro stops are provided by the schedule boxes like you see on this picture.
    It shows the tracks, time left and a couple of stops until the place you are about.
    It also shows, indicated with a red (moving) light where the tram is at the moment so you can see how long you will have to wait.

    Very helpful it is when you have to catch a tram you will be able to see if you have to run or if you still have plenty of time left. It sure made me catch my tram in time on several occasions because I knew I had to run!
