All work and no play – we know that doesn’t end well. So when the serious conference sessions end on Friday, we have good times waiting for you! For some activities you have to sign up (first come, first served), so take a look and make up your mind!
 | Historical Mechelen Walking tour - max 25 people, sign up here! Did you know that Mechelen played an important political and economic role in the fifteenth century, when the city was under the rule of the Dukes of Burgundy? Many historical buildings testify to this: St. Rumbold's Cathedral, the former palaces of Margaret of Austria and Margaret of York, the Palace of the Grand Council, etc. etc. The Historical City Walk now also takes in the newly discovered fourteenth-century wall paintings in St. John's Church. Follow your guide through historical Mechelen. Begins 18:30 at Schepenhuis - Grote Markt, Vleeshouwersstraat 6 |
 | Women of Mechelen Walking tour - max 25 people, sign up here!. This walk looks at the power of women and their influence on the city, from the highest ranks to the lowest, from the distant past through to the present day. Among other things, you will visit Margaret of Austria's palace and what are now the law courts. You will also be able to view the exterior of Margaret of York's palace, now the home of the municipal theatre. Begins 18:30 at Schepenhuis - Grote Markt, Vleeshouwersstraat 6 |
