Christmas Big Time



There are many ways to get in your personal christmas mood. Some people donate money to charity, others will buy some presents for loved ones. Another fine way to get into the right mood is to visit the 'Stadsfeestzaal'.



Built in 1907, this monument had one main goal: hosting parties for the city. Different ballroom dances, fairs, graduationparties and Christmas markets. We all enjoyed it and have many exciting memories of this palace of parties. But then in the early morning on the 28th of december 2000 something horrible happend. The whole place burned down...




It's a date many citizens of Antwerp still remember. Another pearl of a monument we lost in this lovely town.
But then in oktober 2007 this magical place was completely rebuilded and renovated like never before. We were extremely happy with the result and we all can enjoy it every day of the week, exept on sundays.
Nowadays it's one of Europe's most wonderful shoppingcenters. The large offer of different shops is a plus. The first Urban Outfitters of the European continent, Antwerps very first Nike shop and ofcourse Cos.

Be Cos
The upscale version of H&M with lovely costumes for men and fancy dresses for the ladies, all at acceptable prices. The staff is treating you like a king, which is always nice.
During our personal shopping sprees we often pass by this Cos-y shop. The way they help us and our clients, is almost unique in it's way. A drink, a chat and the right help for the perfect outfit: splendid!
