Get an audio guide
Those who prefer to have their hands free during the listening walk can borrow an audio guide and earphones at the Visit Mechelen desk instead of a listening horn. This audio guide includes tactile playback and volume buttons.
Discover thresholds, cobblestones and more
We have indicated the thresholds, cobblestones, slopes, and more on the route. In addition to the basic walk, we also provide an alternative route. The route can be read aloud via the voice function of your smartphone.
On the map, the thresholds, narrow passages, cobblestones and more are only described in Dutch.
Get a brochure with tactile images
For visitors who want to feel the city, we have designed a brochure with tactile images of all the highlights during the walk. The sights are displayed in Braille and each has a name and number, both in written text and in Braille.
This reusable brochure is available in Dutch and English. You can borrow a copy at the Visit Mechelen desk. Please return your copy afterwards so that others can also use it.
