Highlights
We love Mechelen and love to share it with the world. Still a hidden gem, it is very accessible from both Antwerp, Brussels and Ghent. It is quieter than the bigger cities, but has more charm in our opinion. Our tours are small groups only. For safety, but also because we like to know the people we guide. As there are so many eateries and restaurants, we combine sightseeing with a nice meal, so you get to feel like a local. We hope that you will enjoy touring with us.

Ablauf
Our walking tour with lunch or dinner (depending on the time of your tour) in Mechelen starts on a very important square. After a short introduction and brief with what you can expect, we start our journey. This tour combines sightseeing and some good food and gives you a good insight in what Mechelen is all about and where the residents love to hang out. At all attractions or interesting areas that we visit, we make stops for stories and photos. Grote Markt or Main Square is an area that has a lot of history in and around it. Thanks to Margaret of Austria, Mechelen played an important role. Are you ready to get started?
From the Grote Markt, we go to Mechelen's shopping street Bruul to discover the area. Small side streets and back alleys bring you to some hidden gems that only the locals know. After the tour finishes, we come back here for a light lunch or dinner.
From Bruul it is easy to get to Ijzerenleen. This used to be the old fish market. Now it is full of eateries and magnificent architecture.
The new fish market (or Vismarkt in Dutch) is a trendy place. Cute cafes and eateries and an amazing view over the river Dyle. We will discover this area in depth before finishing this walking tour with lunch or dinner.

About Mechelen
Mechelen is a Flemish city between Antwerp and Brussels, with a towering cathedral, a former Habsburg court, quiet waterways and a carillon school.
Mechelen lies on the River Dijle, midway between Brussels and Antwerp, in Flanders. In the early sixteenth century it was the capital of the Habsburg Netherlands, ruled by Margaret of Austria from a palace in the centre, and the city still has grand Gothic and Renaissance buildings from that time. St Rumbold's Cathedral, with its unfinished tower, 97 metres tall, looms over the Grote Markt.
