Mechelen is a lovely town with lots of nice places to eat and relax. We went to Hete Patat on our first night - great food and good value. I would also reccomment any of the bars on the Vismarkt - De Gouden Vis and Den Akker deserve a particular mention for atmosphere and great food (Den Akker). |

The cathedral tower is worth a climb on a clear day. It's really not far from either Antwerp and Brussels - an easy train ride to the centre of both - and the station is really close to the hostel. |
