going out and shopping

Let’s not forget the various events such as the open air concerts, the Terrace Theatre or the carillon concerts... which warm up Turnhout evenings considerably. The new Utopolis cineplex is an additional trump card for a bustling night life.

The Grote Markt is almost completely surrounded by many floral terraces. After a drink or a snack, browse the neighbouring shopping streets with their various fashion chains and stylish stores.

Specialist stores still prepare various delicacies according to traditional methods, including the Turnhouts troefke (a Turnhout trump card), a butter biscuit in the shape of a playing card.
