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!
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We meet our guests at "De Lijnwinkel", which is opposite the entrance of Mechelen station.
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.

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?

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.
