Mechelen, the religious capital of Belgium, was build near the river Dijle and the Leuven canal. The town has an interesting history, dating back to the dark ages, which has left many architectural masterpieces to admire. The first train on the European continent drove between Brussels and Mechelen, in 1835.
Today, the city offers many shopping facilities, as well as museums and artwork. The Grand Place is one of the most beautiful in Belgium, with many open space and terraces. Apart from that Mechelen has the ambition of being the most child-friendly city of Flanders, establishing many facilities and activities for children.

Mechelen is a Dutch-speaking city and municipality in the province of Antwerp, Flanders. The municipality comprises the city of Mechelen proper, some quarters at its outskirts, the hamlets of Nekkerspoel (adjacent) and Battel (a few kilometers away), as well as the villages of Walem, Heffen, Leest, Hombeek, and Muizen. The Dijle flows through the city, hence the term 'Dijlestad' (Dijle City).

Mechelen lies on the major urban & industrial axis Brussels-Antwerp, about 25 km from each city. Besides at Mechelen's southern industrial and northern office estates, many inhabitants find employment at offices in or industry near the capital, or at industrial plants near Antwerp's seaport.

Este viaje fue planeado durante largos años hasta que finalmente llegó el momento. Nuestro viaje se inicia en mi ciudad favorita: Paris. Hicimos un pequeño periplo por Paises Bajos y Bélgica con unos entrañables amigos y finalmente nos acoplamos a un tour por Italia, el sur de Francia y España. Una maravilla de viaje que espero repetir algún día.
