Have french fries from the frietkot with the best view. Take the pedestrian tunnel or the free ferry, take out 'een kleintje met versen tartaar' and get as close as possible to the water. (Not the best fries in the city, but the location makes up for it!)

Bring your swimsuit and enjoy this large eco swimming pool in the middle of the boekenbergpark! On sunny days it might get busy, so you'll have to wait in line. (Go there in the morning, right when it opens to see the locals meet!)

quite a touristy tap room, but it offers a great range of Belgian and international beers. The bartenders are experts, so ask away!

The ghost city of Doel lays in the shadow of the nuclear plant, so guess why all the people have moved! Quiet and spooky place. The the bike on de Waterbus, get off at 'Liefkenshoek' and let google maps do the rest. Don't enter the abandoned houses, the locals don't like it.
