Nestled at Vlasmarkt 2, The Mystics Lodge sits in one of Antwerp’s most character-filled pockets—a neighborhood where old-world charm and bohemian energy meet in perfect harmony. Vlasmarkt is known for its cobblestone streets, centuries-old façades, artistic spirit, and vibrant café culture. It’s the kind of place where you can feel the heartbeat of the city from morning to midnight. By day, the neighborhood is calm, sunlit, and inviting. Locals wander to nearby bakeries and coffee houses, artists pass through with sketchbooks under their arms, and the aroma of fresh espresso drifts from the historic cafés—including the very one located beneath the lodge, the oldest in the area. Antique shops, independent boutiques, and hidden courtyards give the street a charming, timeless feel. As evening arrives, the Vlasmarkt shows another side of its personality. The area comes alive with warm lights, soft music spilling from nearby wine bars, lively terraces, and the buzzing energy of Antwerp’s cultural scene. It’s atmospheric yet intimate—a place where you can enjoy a slow drink, a deep conversation, or a nighttime stroll surrounded by the glow of old lanterns and beautiful architecture.
