Γραμμή 241:
Το μεγαλύτερο αεροδρόμιο του Βελγίου, αυτό των Βρυξελλών, βρίσκεται περίπου 45 χλμ. από την Αμβέρσα και συνδέει την πόλη με ολόκληρο τον κόσμο. Και αυτό συνδέεται με λεωφορειακή γραμμή από το κέντρο της πόλης αλλά και σιδηροδρομικά. Η νέα σιδηροδρομική γραμμή ''Diabolo'' που εγκαινιάστηκε το 2012 συνδέει την Αμβέρσα απευθείας με το αεροδρόμιο. Υπάρχει επίσης απευθείας σιδηροδρομική σύνδεση με το αεροδρόμιο του Σαρλερουά δύο φορές ανά ώρα (κατά τις εργάσιμες ημέρες).

Η Αμβέρσα είχε μεγάλη φήμη ως καλλιτεχνικό κέντρο κατά τον 17ο αιώνα, που βασιζόταν στη [[Σχολή ζωγραφικής της Αμβέρσας|Σχολή ζωγραφικής]], στην οποία περιλαμβάνονταν ζωγράφοι όπως οι [[Πέτερ Πάουλ Ρούμπενς]], [[Άντονι βαν Ντάικ]], [[Γιάκομπ Γιόρντενς]], οι δύο Τενιέ και πολλοί άλλοι.
<!-- ==Culture==
Antwerp had an artistic reputation in the 17th century, based on its [[Antwerp school|school of painting]], which included [[Peter Paul Rubens|Rubens]], [[Anthony van Dyck|Van Dyck]], [[Jacob Jordaens|Jordaens]], the two [[Teniers]] and many others.
Informally, most Antverpians (in Dutch ''Antwerpenaren'', people from Antwerp) daily speak Antverpian (in Dutch ''Antwerps''), a dialect that Dutch-speakers know as distinctive from other [[Brabantian|Brabantic]] dialects through its typical vowel pronunciations: approximating the vowel sound in 'bore' – for one of its long 'a'-sounds while other short 'a's are very sharp like the vowel sound in 'hat'. The ''Echt Antwaarps Teater'' ("Authentic Antverpian Theatre") brings the dialect on stage.
===Fashion===
Antwerp is a rising fashion city, and has produced designers such as the [[Antwerp Six]]. The city has a cult status in the fashion world, due to the [[Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp|Royal Academy of Fine Arts]], one of the most important fashion academies in Europe. It has served as the learning centre for many Belgian [[fashion design]]ers. Since the 1980s, several graduates of the Belgian Royal Academy of Fine Arts have become internationally successful fashion designers in Antwerp. The city has had a huge influence on other Belgian fashion designers such as Raf Simons, Veronique Branquinho, Olivier Theyskens and Kris Van Assche.<ref>Martínez, "Selling Avant-garde: How Antwerp Became a Fashion Capital (1990–2002)" (2007)</ref>
===Local products===
Antwerp is famous for its local products. In August every year the Bollekesfeest takes place. The Bollekesfeest is a showcase for such local products as Bolleke, an amber beer from the [[De Koninck Brewery]]. The [[Mokatine]] sweets made by [[Confiserie Roodthooft]], Elixir D'Anvers, a locally made liquor, locally roasted coffee from Koffie Verheyen, sugar from Candico, Poolster pickled herring and Equinox horse meat, are other examples of local specialities. One of the most known products of the city are its biscuits, the ''Antwerpse Handjes'', literally "Antwerp Hands". Usually made from a short pastry with almonds or milk chocolate, they symbolize the Antwerp trademark and folklore. The local products are represented by a non-profit organization, Streekproducten Provincie Antwerpen vzw. {{citation needed|date=October 2011}}
===Missions to seafarers===
A number of Christian missions to seafarers are based in Antwerp, notably on the Italiëlei. These include the [[Mission to Seafarers]], [[Sailors' Society|British & International Sailors' Society]], the [[Finnish Seamen's Mission]], the Norwegian [[Norwegian Church Abroad|Sjømannskirken]] and the [[Apostleship of the Sea]]. They provide cafeterias, cultural and social activities as well as religious services.
