Antwerp’s Eilandje district, a vibrant waterfront neighborhood, invites visitors to engage with its unique blend of history and mystery through the “Fake News Tour - Op het Eilandje en rond het MAS,” offered by Make Antwerp Great Again - City Tours. Located at Hanzestedenplaats 1, 2000 Antwerpen, this two-hour walking experience takes you through the heart of Eilandje, revealing the district’s industrial past alongside the striking modernity of the iconic MAS (Museum aan de Stroom).

This walk distinguishes itself by combining storytelling with an interactive challenge: uncover facts among layers of fictional tales spun by your guide. Participants seek out the falsehoods to earn coins, competing for impressive prizes. This playful dynamic adds a fresh edge to city tours, transforming what could be a standard history walk into a mentally engaging contest.

The route highlights key landmarks including the Nassaubrug, London Bridge, Kattendijk Bridge, the Red Star Line Museum's exterior, and the historic harbor cranes lining the Schelde river. The tour contrasts the old warehouses and Bonapartedok docks with contemporary urban renewal, providing rich context that moves beyond mere dates and facts.

Make Antwerp Great Again’s local guides are vetted and bring a personable yet well-informed energy to the walk, avoiding dull recitations in favor of exciting stories and lively debate. This accessibility and humor make it suitable for a broad audience—from families to curious solo travelers.

This tour underscores Antwerp’s dynamic relationship with its maritime and industrial heritage, and how the city thoughtfully reclaims its urban spaces. Whether you’re a history buff or looking for a unique way to engage with Antwerp’s cityscape, this tour offers an offbeat, interactive experience not typically found in the region’s outdoor offerings.
