Overview
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.
We hope that you will enjoy touring with us and ready to work up some sweat!

Meeting point
We meet our guests at "De Lijnwinkel", which is opposite the entrance of Mechelen station.
End point
Our tour finishes at the Vrijbroekpark. This park lies just outside the centre, but it is a very pretty one. You are welcome to discover it after the tour finishes.
Grote Markt
Our running 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 running and gives you a good insight in what Mechelen is all about and where the residents love to hang out.
There are plenty of opportunities to take 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?
Bruul
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. We like to surprise you with stories and hidden gems.
Ijzerenleen
From Bruul it is easy to get to Ijzerenleen. This used to be the old fish market. Now it is full of eateries - we stop for tasters of course - and magnificent architecture.
Vismarkt
The new fish market (or Vismarkt in Dutch) is a trendy place. Cute cafes and eateries and an amazing view over the river Dyle.
Provinciaal Groendomein Vrijbroekpark
The Vrijbroek park is one of the biggest parks in Mechelen and the green lung of the city. There are many other parks, but this one is easily accessible and also has a lot of places in the park that you can discover. We finish the tour after we have explored the park.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
