Antwerp, one of the major cities in the Flemish region of Belgium, has long been regarded as the crossroads of Europe. The region's rail and motorway infrastructure is among the most dense on the Continent, enabling rapid transit times to markets and other European industrial centres. The majority of European Union purchasing power lies within a radius of just 300 miles.
Brussels, the capital and decision-making heart of the European Union, is less than an hour away by car, and Brussels airport offers frequent inter-European and international flights. Both Antwerp and Brussels are on the TGV (high-speed train) network, connecting with London, Paris, Amsterdam, Cologne and other major European cities.
