Boat trip on the Binnendijle

One of the best ways to get to know Mechelen better is an exciting boat trip with shipping company Malinska on the Dyle, Mechelen's lifeline.

While sailing you will learn more about the sights on the banks, interspersed with facts and anecdotes about the history of Mechelen. You can listen to the tape or reserve a city guide for your group.

The boat trips take place from the beginning of March to the beginning of November, with departures and arrivals from the dock of the shipping company Malinska on the Haverwerf, directly opposite the Congress Center Lamot.

The standard rate is 8€ per person, children between 4 and 12 years pay 6€, for children between 0 and 3 years it is free.

You can sail at a group rate on presentation of your entrance ticket to the Sint-Romboutstoren, the Musuem Hof van Busleyden or the Toy Museum. For more info, surf to www.bootjesinmechelen.be

Ember

Mechelen

Ember is a gastronomic concept by Zino Jacobs and Arthur Doppee where fire, smoke, and pure flavors take center stage. By cooking over a wood fire and using minimal gas and electricity, Ember returns to the essence of cooking. The kitchen works exclusively with local and seasonal products, preparing vegetables, fish, and quality meat in an honest and refined manner. Collaborations with Belgian producers and traders are central to this. Sustainability also plays an important role. Ingredients that would normally go to waste are given a second life at Ember in dishes or drinks. In this way, Ember combines gastronomy, craftsmanship, and innovation into a unique culinary experience.
