The furry fandom is a community inspired by anthropomorphic animals, meaning animals with human traits. It's mainly about creativity and is known as a very social community. Most furries create their own character (a fursona), based on an animal, real or fictional. At conventions, you'll find people creating art, writing stories, socializing, and wearing fursuits based on their fursona.

The recommended option is the train. Direct trains from Brussels Airport Zaventem to Antwerpen Centraal run every 30 minutes and the journey takes about 30 minutes. Plan your trip and buy tickets at belgiantrain.be.

If you prefer the bus, the Airport Express service runs hourly and takes around 50 minutes, stopping at Koningin Astridplein, right in front of Antwerpen Centraal. More info at airportexpress.be.

Antwerp has an extensive network of trams and buses. The nearest tram stop (DeSingel) connects you easily to the city centre and other areas.

Fursuits are elaborate, handcrafted costumes and the people wearing them deserve consideration.

A few simple guidelines:

• Always ask before hugging or touching a fursuiter. They may have limited visibility and mobility.
• Ask before taking a close-up photo or video. Most suiters love to pose, but consent matters.
• Fursuiters wearing a full head cannot speak. They communicate through gestures and body language.
• If a fursuiter shakes their head or waves you off, please respect that and move on.
• Never try to touch or remove someone's fursuit head.
• Do not photograph fursuiters in rest or changing areas.
