Key Competitive Attractions
Located in the heart of the Wallonia region, the City of Ath has always been a commercial, academic and administrative area.
For years, the town has suffered from the low attractiveness of the urban centre. Now a vast urban renewal program has contributed to its revitalisation. Currently, Ath is the centre of many economic activities such as commercial shopping, crafts and catering.
Ath benefits largely from its strategic location, offering excellent road links to numerous major population centres including Antwerp, Brussels, Bruges, Gent, and Lille, all of which can be reached within 90 minutes. The Brussels international airport is just a 45-minute drive away, and Bruges and Antwerp international airports can be reached in less than hour, offering the world's destinations.
