Fetish in the city

The city of diamonds & kink

With so much going on at Darklands it is easy to forget that you are staying in a beautiful historic city with a vibrant gay life. 

Antwerp is known as the Diamond Capital of the world. Not sure if it’s the diamonds but the city is one of the most hospitable  and tolerant cities towards the LGBTQ+ community. No wonder you’ll find such a broad variety of gay businesses in the city. We’d like to give you a glimpse of the businesses that support the festival and welcome Darklands visitors with open arms.
