Top 10 Things to do Good for Kids in Mechelen, Flanders

July 29, 2021 Merry Kessler

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.

Grote Markt

Reviewed By 374jimmyp - Mechelen, Belgium

When you enter the Central Place(Grote Markt) in Mechelen, you seem to be walking into history. In the shadow of the old St-Rombouts Tower(Cathedral), you will notice immediately the ancient buildings that breathe nostalgy. You can enjoy the nice restaurants or visit the cit hall with a guided Tour. Of course, this tour is not limited to the Centre only. Climbing the Cathedral's stairs and enjoying the whole City of Mechelen is a ream pleasure. Mechelen is ranked top 10 worldwide in the "Best Future Cities".

Reviewed By rubeng236 - Gistel, Belgium

Spent an afternoon there (12h30 to 17h) and only saw half of whatever they have to offer! Both children (age 6 and 11) had a great time experimenting and exploring all these exhibits. This is a real hands on experience for all ages. All actions you do are recorded on a RFID bracelet so you can check your results from home. So take a day out of your schedule to enjoy these most of this and discover things you didn't know. Parents, do all these activities too!
