With a group from or to Mechelen
Mechelen lies right between Antwerp and Brussels, and for a group that makes it a starting point with many directions. Both cities are half an hour's drive away, and via the E19 and the R6 ring road around the town you are soon on your way to the coast, the Kempen or the Netherlands.
Groups come to Mechelen itself for St Rumbold's Tower, for Technopolis, for Kazerne Dossin or for a day at Planckendael, the animal park on the edge of town. The historic centre is compact and largely low-traffic, which makes it pleasant for a group to explore on foot. So a coach prefers to drop the group off on the edge of the centre, not in the middle of the shopping streets.
