Feels like back to old times. Nostalgic feeling
The Sint-Annatunnel is a stunning 1930s time capsule. Walking through it feels less like a commute and more like a trip through a Wes Anderson film set. The original wooden escalators are the real stars—clackety, nostalgic, and incredibly rare. Pristine Art Deco tiling and a cool, subterranean hush that’s a welcome break from the city noise. It’s a 572-meter stroll that leads you straight to the best panoramic views of Antwerp’s skyline from the Left Bank. It’s free, iconic, and easily the most stylish way to cross a river.
What a nice experience the wooden escalators The cyclists are far too fast (definitely not 5 kmh). It's pretty dangerous especially when kids run around.
If you are going to see this as a tourist it is kind of neat but in the end it is just a really long tunnel. But if need to get across the river it is easy and quick. Some more history on how this 600 meter tunnel was hand dug in the 30s is pretty impressive.
Cool tunnel. We walked across and caught free ferry back after a walk in the park. Nice to see the city from across the river.
