By coach

Mechelen is dedicating more and more space to cyclists, walkers and green spaces. As an example, the city centre has been car-free for several years. On the ring road around the city centre (R12), through-traffic is one-way traffic.

The centre remains accessible by coach. In the city centre, there are four coach pick-up and drop-off points where your bus can stand for fifteen minutes. 

There is also a free parking terrain for coaches on Douaneplein. If you come from Frederik de Merodestraat, turn left. Then follow the ring road to the intersection with Leuvensesteenweg. There you turn right and then take the first left to the Tangent. At the end of the Tangent, you can turn right onto the N15 towards Douaneplein.
