Primark’s Antwerp branch occupies Meir 22/30, near the Groenplaats end of the city’s main pedestrian shopping street. It sells low-cost clothing, shoes, accessories, beauty products and homewares for women, men and children. Shoppers come for fast-moving trends at prices well below most of its Meir neighbors.
The store spreads across several floors, so it pays to grab a basket at the entrance. Expect basics like T-shirts, knitwear, denim and pajamas, plus seasonal edits that turn over quickly. Licensed character merchandise and beauty lines draw a younger crowd, and the homeware section stocks cushions, candles and kitchen items. Fitting rooms and checkout lines can grow long, and rails get picked over by late afternoon. Primark sells almost entirely in-store, with no regular online ordering in Belgium. If you see something you like, buy it on the spot.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Weekday mornings shortly after opening are the calmest time to shop. Saturdays, school holidays and the December run-up get crowded fast. Most Antwerp shops close on Sundays except on designated shopping Sundays, so check current hours before you go. Trams stop at the Meir and Groenplaats premetro stations, both a short walk away, and Antwerp-Centraal station sits at the far end of the Meir. Afterward, walk to the Boerentoren and the Cathedral of Our Lady in the old town, or head up the Meir toward the Stadsfeestzaal and the Rubens House.
