Getting Around

This is on the main line between Brussels and Antwerp. It is only 15 mins into the center of Brussels and 20 Mins to Antwerp. Great for a day out. You can also rent Cycles from here.

This is a Holocaust museum which is a little upsetting in its content. However, we should never forget this took place. The musuem is very well laid out with full audio guides in multiple languages. From the top of the building you get a full panoramic view of Mechelen on a good weather day.
