Antwerp - Zoo Antwerpen :

Antwerp Zoo -- Laid out just outside the city walls in the mid-19th century, Antwerp's zoo is now at the heart of town next to the central station, making it a breeze to visit, even on a day trip from Brussels or Amsterdam.The zoo houses over 6000 animals of 750 species and the provision of modern open-plan enclosures has been accomplished without diminishing the charm of the zoo's Victorian decoration. The entrance gate and pavilion recall the days when municipal innovations like zoos, museums and swimming pools showed proud, ornate faces to the world.
Recent additions have given the zoo modern attractions to go with its old-fashioned charm. Freezeland, a habitat for sea otters and penguins, has joined the Nocturama (for the creatures of the night), a planetarium, a winter garden and an aquarium.
At a children's playground next to one of the snack stands, rambunctious school groups run off their excess energy, while park benches facing embankments planted with hundreds of bulbs offer a sedentary springtime pleasure.
The passage of time and the extensive landscaping of the grounds have turned the zoo into a green oasis in the very centre of the modern city. The scientific side of zoo operation has not been neglected and the Royal Zoological Society has, like many other zoo administrations, embarked on breeding programmes to sustain populations of endangered species.

Time zone -- GMT + 1 (GMT + 2 from last Sunday in March to last Sunday in October)

Currency -- Euro

Language -- The local language in Antwerp is Dutch (Flemish). Many residents of Antwerp are fluent in English, and almost all speak at least some. Stores, restaurants, and hotels usually have at least one or two employees who are fluent in English. Although many residents can also speak French (the city gets many French-speaking visitors from elsewhere in Belgium and from across the nearby border in France), being proud Flemings they generally prefer that English-speaking visitors speak to them in English, instead of trying out their French on them, be it ever so fluent.

Electricity -- 220V, 50Hz

Connections : Antwerp has its own airport, Deurne Airport, 7km (4 1/2 miles) east of the city, but other than a few scheduled flights from London, Manchester, and Liverpool in England, not much in the way of international flights arrives at Deurne, so in a way -- for now, at any rate -- it's more useful to think of Brussels National as Antwerp's airport. If you do fly into Deurne, De Lijn bus no. 16 shuttles between the airport and Pelikaanstraat, outside Centraal Station in Antwerp center. Taxi fare to the center is around 12€ ($15)..

Public Transportation -- Bus-- Most long-distance buses arrive and depart from the bus station on Franklin Rooseveltplaats, a short distance northwest of Centraal Station. Timetables and fare information are available from a kiosk in Centraal Station.

Train--The city is called Antwerp in English (and Anvers in French), but look out for its Flemish name, ANTWERPEN, on the name boards at Centraal Station, the city's cathedral-like main rail station

Going by car, major highways connecting to Antwerp's R1 Ring Expressway are A1/E19 from Brussels via Mechelen, and from Amsterdam; A12 from Brussels via Laeken; A14/E17 from Ghent; and N49 from Knokke, Bruges, and Zeebrugge, bypassing Ghent. By the fastest direct routes, Antwerp is 51km (32 miles) north of Brussels on A1/E19; 45km (28 miles) northeast of Ghent on A14/E17; and 102km (63 miles) east of Bruges on A10/E40 and A14/E17.
