Welcome to Mechelen

The town of Mechelen (in French: Malines) is situated half-way between Brussels and Antwerp. It has about 75.000 inhabitants.The landmark of Mechelen is the huge St. Rumbold's Tower (in Dutch : St. Romboutstoren). This impressive late-medieval tower can be seen from far away. Standing close to the tower it is immediately clear that the tower was designed to become very high. The construction was stopped in the 16th century because the town of Mechelen had financial problems.The town was founded in the early Middle-Ages on the banks of the river Dijle (which also runs through the town of Leuven). It is a pleasant typical Flemish city which belonged to the Duchy of Brabant. The town center is a low-traffic area, which makes Mechelen a pleasant shopping city. On Saturdays the main shopping streets 'Bruul' and 'IJzerenleen' are visited by all the people of the city itself and the neighbouring villages.with thousands of luxury hotels, apartments, pensionen,ideal for congresses kongresse ,incentives, messen,car rentals autovermietungen, urlaub, reiseagenturen,werbung,advertisment,last minute flights,aviaton, airlines inbound,outbound, touroperators,vacation rentals,holiday regions, vehicle rentals, conventions, travel agencies,autoverleih,mietwagen,unterkünfte,reisebüros,fluglinen,reiseagenturen,rent a cars, yachting agencies,advertising,banner adds,web design,cruises,shipping agencices, conventions,ticketing
