The Great Beguinage, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, remains an oasis of tranquility. At Park Abbey you stroll through art, heritage and an unblemished interior, while Museum M delights with permanent and temporary exhibits.
Brewery Stella Artois opens its doors every Saturday for an interactive tour. On the Oude Markt, the "Longest Bar in Europe" provides atmosphere. The Botanical Garden is the oldest botanical garden in Belgium, the University Library offers a view of the city, the Vaartkom is bustling again, and Provinciedomein Kessel-Lo remains a hit with families.
"Park Abbey is a wonderful place to escape the lively city for a while."
