Bus Hire in Turnhout

Turnhout is the capital of the Kempen district in the Antwerp province, known across Europe as the historic centre of playing card production. The Nationaal Museum van de Speelkaart (National Playing Card Museum) traces this unique industrial heritage, and the city's restored Baroque basilica and beguinage draw growing numbers of visitors.

Its location -- 30 km from Antwerp Airport and 65 km from Brussels -- makes it a practical base for groups touring the northern Antwerp province. The surrounding De Liereman and Kalmthoutse Heide nature reserves attract walking and cycling tour groups, while the Kempen~Broek cross-border wetland park draws eco-tourism groups from across Flanders and the Netherlands.

Antwerp Day Trips

Antwerp city centre is under 40 minutes by coach from Turnhout, giving groups easy access to the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, the Cathedral of Our Lady, and the fashion quarter. Coaches can park at the designated Noorderplaats coach bay. The E34 motorway connects the two cities directly.

Nature and Heritage Routes

Groups interested in Flemish Baroque architecture visit Sint-Pieterskerk and the surviving almshouses in the historic centre. For outdoor groups, the Turnhoutse vennen lakes and Kalmthout Heath are within 30 minutes. The Bokrijk open-air museum near Genk is around 45 minutes east.
