Mechelen getaway: history, canals, tapestries

Located between Brussels and Antwerp, Mechelen has played a political and economic role that very few know. Our guide Bavard will reveal all the secrets of the city to you. Burgundian palaces, Renaissance houses, a Brabantine Gothic cathedral, a Baroque beguinage… invite you to cross centuries of history. In the 15th and 16th centuries, Mechelen was the administrative and legal center of the Burgundian Netherlands, but also a leading intellectual, cultural and artistic hub. A getaway like a tapestry with rich and varied patterns, full of colors! This visit is organized as part of the Brussels Renaissance Festival.
