Vlaeykensgang, Flanders, Belgium

Charming medieval lane in the city centre
Vlaeykensgang is a charming medieval lane just west of Oude Koornmarkt that dates back to the 1590s. This cobblestoned remnant of the old city is quaint and photographic. In additional to nice scenery you will find a couple of restaurants down the short lane. Otherwise, worth a quick look-see and a few snaps of the camera if sightseeing in the area. You can conveniently add a stop here before or after visiting Antwerp Cathedral just a couple minutes walk from this location.

Cute escape route
Take this little shortcut if you get the chance - and find the entrance. Once you enter the passage, all the city business and noise disappears. In summer you will find it a lovely cool spot and beautifully decorated with flowers and pot plants. Maybe come for lunch or dinner at the small hidden restaurant that serves local specialities.

Beautiful Hidden Gem
Hidden within the city is a small alleyway consisting of a couple of small restaurants. It’s as though you are walking back in time to the old Antwerp. Loose yourself within this street while taking in all the beauty throughout! It’s a must see If you can find it!
