Visiting Mechelen, Belgium


The picturesque town of Mechelen, a hidden Flemish gem, sits between Brussels and Antwerp. Students of the world-renowned Carillon bell-ringing school provide an atmospheric soundtrack for sipping coffee at a sidewalk café in one of the town's charming squares. Many pedestrian areas make this a delightful town to promenade about, admiring hundreds of listed buildings and monuments, many dating back to 16th century. Highlights include Gothic and Baroque churches and the famed St Rumbold's Tower.

Real nice food prepared and served in a classical way. Good wines and friendly service. Not too expensive for a Michelin star restaurant. Atmosphere is a bit stuffy but ok. more
