De Draakplaats / Dageraadraadplaats is located in the trendy Zurenborg in Berchem. It's a 25 minute walk from our apartment. Make sure you walk through the Cogels Osylei on your way, to see one of Antwerps most beautiful street and it's houses. On the Dageraadplaats you can find lots of bars, coffeeshops and restaurants. It's a little outside the center, but we see it as one of Antwerps hidden secrets!
