Mechelen is a nice city. Counts about 75.000 inhabitants and is an historical city. Mechelen counts more authentic monuments than Bruges to give another example in Belgium.

Most famous monument is the tower of the Saint-Rumolduscathedral (Sint-Romboutskathedraal), shown here in the picture by twilight.
It’s about 97 meter high and it takes you more than 500 stairs to get on the top.

There are many nice things to see in Mechelen. From 17 september 2005 on, there are some expositions and cultural events about the women who played an important role in the history of the city and about women in general.

Certainly worth a visit!
