What To Expect

Grote Markt

We will meet at Brussels Central Station, where we will take a train to Mechelen - the journey takes only 25 minutes! Once there, we will take a walking tour through the historic center of Mechelen. We will start our walk in the heart of the city: the Grote Markt. In this beautiful square is the monumental Town Hall of Mechelen, on whose facade we will see the sculpture of the most powerful man in Spain (and all of Europe) in the first half of the 16th century. Do you know who it is? We are referring to the great Charles of Habsburg, I of Spain and V of Germany, who was born in Ghent in February 1500.

    Worth the day trip!! Seeing 2 other UNESCO cities and learning about them from Matthais! Mechelen also had a amazing museum on Holocaust “Kazerne Dossin” so well done. Due to the train systems-this was a Transport Camp to the concentration camps throughout Europe.
