To get to Mechelen I took the Eurostar from London to Brussels and from there changed to a regular train. The journey to Brussels took only 2.5 hours from London and will be even quicker next month when the new terminal at St Pancras and high-speed line open. All tickets to Belgium include onward travel to any other destination in Belgium, providing you travel within 24 hours of your Eurostar journey. The Eurostar arrives at the Midi station in Brussels, which conveniently is also the terminus for departures to Mechelen. Trains to the latter leave very frequently and take only 25 minutes – look for trains going in the direction of Antwerp. Mechelen is almost exactly halfway between these two larger cities, and would make a good day out from either. The station in Mechelen is well served by buses, or a taxi to a hotel in the old town will cost about €5. If you aren’t carrying any heavy bags and prefer to walk it will take about 15 minutes from here to the Grote Markt. Theme: Train

 Station Nekkerspoel by belgianchocolate Mechelen is in the middle of BRUSSELS and ANTWERP. Every train between these two cities stops in Mechelen. Except for the international train 'THALYS'. Mechelen has got two stations - MECHELEN and MECHELEN-Nekkerspoel. MECHELEN-nekkerspoel is the most convenient one to visit mechelen. It stops only a five minutes walk away from this little cities center. The line BRUSSELS-ANTWERP is the most crowded line in the country. Watch out and plan your trip a bit...not every train stops in station Nekkerspoel. It will take you 20 minutes to go to Antwerp and about 25 minutes to Brussels. So you don't have any excuse to miss this city. The largest toymuseum in the world is right behind station 'Mechelen-Nekkerspoel'. Leave a Comment

 Monument and station by bugulma The trains going between Brussels and Antwerpen often cross the city and it is a not a problem to come to Mechelen by train at all both region trains and IC. The price is around EUR 12 to and back for the route from Brussels (in Brussels you can get train in Central, Northern and Southern station). Leave a Comment Theme: Train

 Train station by Helga67 Mechelen has two train stations: Mechelen and Mechelen-Nekkerspoel. The latter is the closest to the important places in Mechelen. You will need about 10 to 15 minutes to get to the centre of town. Be aware that both stations are not always accessible by the same train. Leave a Comment

 Parking place near the Church of St. John by Diana75 When you go abroad by car and don't know the cities the most difficult part is to find a good and close to the centre parking place, especially if you don't have map. We just assumed that this parking place was close to the Cathedral, there was so sign of Saint Rumbold's Tower, but we've been really lucky. The parking is close to the Church of St. John and we paid only EUR 1.5-/hour. Theme: Car/Motor Home

 Plankendael treetop walk by Sjalen Mechelen is between Brussels and Antwerp which means that all trains between the two (and they are many) stop here as do the Brussels to Amsterdam trains on the same route. Leave a Comment

 Want to go here? Then follow "Mechelen" by Pavlik_NL Mechelen can be easily reached by car following the highway (E19) going between Brussel and Antwerpen. Also the A1 road glides across it's borders. Exit "Mechelen" is clearly stated, but focus on "Centrum" and not on the earlier / later "Noord" (=North) or "Zuid" (South). Trains, running between Antwerpen and Brussel, also stop at Mechelen. The first railroad on mainland Europe actually had Mechelen as station! Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

 Sightseeing in Mechelen ... by foot. by Pavlik_NL The centre of Mechelen is compact and walking is therefore the best way of getting around in the town. Distances are short and the intensivity of sightseeing by foot is much better then going by bus or car. Actually, it would be impossible to do so, as certain alleys are just much to small or one-way traffic (and guess what ... it's always the other way around - haha). Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Most busses also stop on the "Grote Markt" by Pavlik_NL "De lijn", Belgium's public bus company, has many services in Mechelen and surrounding area. This is very useful to get to places outside the centre or in Mechelen's surroundings. More information can be obtained on their website. Leave a Comment
