Photographer Tim Gaylord explored four cities in Belgium in four days. This is his photographic journey.
ALL PHOTO GALLERIES: Brussels | Mechelen | Ghent | Bruges
Next stop along the way was Mechelen. Although this city is often overshadowed by Brussels and Ghent it’s definitely worth a visit. A great attribute is that it’s a very compact city so you can reach most places on foot and it’s not full of tourists. Take advantage of the open markets and be sure to visit the De Wit Royal Tapestry Manufacturer.
