Although not one of Belgium’s most famous towns, this should
not deter visitors from exploring the vibrant destination; filled with lots of
historical buildings such as St Rumbold’s Cathedral
and Refugie van de Abdij van
Sint-Truiden and accompanying Belgian culture. A quintessentially
Belgian city populated by our fantastic furnished apartments, dive into the
beer at Het Anker and chocolate paradise
on your next business trip with a stay in a comfortable serviced apartment in
Mechelen, what more could you want?
Tips for staying in Mechelen
If travelling on business, we would strongly recommend
adding an extra day or two to your trip. There is ample activities and sights
to explore and the town is considered still quite undiscovered by large groups
of tourists which allows a slower pace of life to take everything in. We have
long and short stay serviced apartments in Mechelen available to accommodate
you no matter the length of your trip, so get in touch today to discover your
ideal corporate housing.
Transport in Mechelen
With two train stations within walking distance of the city
centre, Mechelen Central
and Mechelen-Nekkerspoel,
you can reach the Grote Markt
in less than fifteen minutes from both. If you are travelling to the city by
train from practically any Belgian or European city, its central location is a
characteristic that many visitors are grateful for, as a journey from Brussels, Leuven and Antwerp only lasts twenty
minutes. For bus serviced, De Lijn
operates the regional and city buses where short bus rides are in constant supply
and great value for money.
Shopping in Mechelen
One of the benefits of shopping in Mechelen is that you are
surrounded by beautiful architecture to elevate your experience, rather than
noisy cars and congestion. With traditional specialist shops and high street
chains all within walking distance from one another, there is something for
everyone, all in one place. For an in-store shopping experience, visit Mechelen Zemst Shopping Centre
and discover a plethora of shops and eateries.
Things to
do in Mechelen
Mechelen is
nestled between Antwerp and Brussels, and its convenient location allows easy
access to both cities within twenty minutes. This means you can enjoy a day
trip to one of these iconic Belgium locations, before returning to the
beautiful haven. To catch a glimpse of all three cities from one place, climb
up Mechelen’s centerpiece, St. Rumbold’s Tower,
and discover the magnificent panoramic views of Belgium. Alternatively, for
beautiful sights which you can view with your feet on the ground, St. John’s Church features
art from Peter Paul Rubens, whom is
considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time. Another option is Zotte Kunstkabinet,
home to artistic madness from the likes of Pieter Bruegel
and Hieronymus Bosch.
