Antwerp International Airport (Deurne): where to stay, areas and…

Deurne airport, mostly regional scheduled flights and business aviation, is so close to the center of Antwerp that looking for a hotel "near the airport" doesn't really make sense: it's almost always worth heading straight for the center, 15-20 minutes by taxi or a bit more by bus. The choice comes down to staying next to Centraal station, convenient for those continuing their trip by train, or in the historic center near the Grote Markt, better suited to those staying to see the city.

Antwerp Center

City centre · Deurne airport is about 5 km from the center: a taxi takes just 15-20 minutes, while the De Lijn bus line 16 reaches Centraal station in about 20-25 minutes.

Best for: Travelers coming to Antwerp for business or leisure: the center is just minutes from the terminal, with no need for a dedicated airport hotel.

Pros

Airport so close to the center that you don't need an "airport" hotel
Excellent rail connections from Centraal station to the rest of Belgium and the Netherlands

Cons

No direct airport-hotel shuttle: a regular bus or a taxi is needed
At peak times traffic can lengthen the taxi ride
