When to fly
Climate:
Antwerp’s four seasons are not particularly extreme. On average, winter (December to February) temperatures rarely dip below freezing, and summer highs are comfortably warm at 20 degrees. Summer (June to August) is the most popular time for booking flights to Antwerp, but it is also the rainiest season. The sunnier and drier seasons tend to be autumn (September to November) or spring (March to May), so consider booking flights around this time.
With a packed cultural calendar, countless museums and art galleries, and endless opportunities to shop the innovative boutiques, there’s no wrong time to book a cheap flight to Antwerp for an inspiring, enthralling visit.
Peak Season:
With pleasant weather and a slew of sensational events scheduled, summer is the busiest season for booking flights to Antwerp. The Antwerp Summer Festival draws thousands of visitors annually for its various productions, outdoor movies, art installations and dance and music spectaculars. Many of the events take place in exciting and unusual venues throughout the city proving entertainment for visitors and locals of all ages.
Off-Peak Season:
Cheap flights to Antwerp are plentiful in late fall and early spring. There are no festivals scheduled for the transitional seasons in Antwerp, so consider a daytrip to Brussels in October for the Brussels Flower Show or to Bruges in April for the Bruges Chocolate festival if you’re in the mood for a celebration. Cheap flights to Antwerp are usually much easier to find after the winter holidays, when tourists tend to shy away from the colder weather.
