My day in Mechelen began with the Beguinages. This is perhaps the most modern, commercialized Beguinage of them all! Quite opposite to Bruges which was the strictest of them all, of what I've been to. I'll do a seperate post on the UNESCO Sites of Mechelen, soon after I get to visit Rumbold's Tower. I didn't visit this time, coz it was a bit too cold for me to take Atyudarini there atop...
To Get There:
From Rumbold's Cathedral: 700m
From Mechelen-Nekkerspoel Railway station: 1.7km along the scenic Dijle Path
On Google Maps: Het Anker Brewery
The starting point of the tour is from the reception of the hotel!

P.S: I was invited by Mechelen Tourism to experience the city for review purposes, however the opinions are my own and this post does not to advertise the product/service.
