Guided walk: Mechelen - A city in women's hands

Mechelen does not tell its history only through men. During this walk, you will discover how women – from palaces to today – helped shape and color the city. We walk through Mechelen and follow the trail of women who helped give the city direction – from powerful queens to women of today. You will learn how figures like Margareta van Oostenrijk and Margareta van York left their mark on political and cultural life. Not footnotes in history, but key figures who made choices and exerted influence. Praktisch Vertrek on Saturday, December 5, 2026, at 2:00 PM at Mechelen station. The walk lasts 2 hours. By walking along, you save a point on your Blik Historik savings card.
