2025 Maasmechelen Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Zero Zero Grand Café is an Italian restaurant located on the 1st floor of the M2 Shopping Center in Massmechelen. As is the style of a café, this place excels in both food and drinks, with a large bar in one corner of the shop. The interior of the shop is beautifully decorated and inviting, with transparent glass walls that allow you to see the view outside. There are plants in various corners, and one wall is a tall bookshelf. It's really pretty and stylish. In terms of food, in addition to Italian dishes like pizza, pasta, and steaks, there are also light sandwiches. For this meal, we ordered the following: ➡️ Spaghetti aglio & olio Spaghetti noodles are boiled until chewy and al dente, fun to chew. There is cheese sprinkled on top separately. This menu is made in a classic, simple style, without meat. The chewy noodles and the smell of garlic and tomato make it enjoyable to eat. However, the taste is a bit salty. ➡️ Croque videe A hot sandwich filled with ham and cheese, served with vegetable salad, boiled eggs, and chicken in a rich cream sauce. It's quite delicious. Another thing we like is the bread served with the spaghetti. It's very good and delicious. The butter is also good quality. #TravelBelgium #TravelEurope

#WinterTravel Maasmechelen Village is a branded outlet in Maasmechelen, Belgium, where both locals and tourists like to visit to shop. The theme here is like a large village where each house is a shop from each brand. The design is cute and the pastel colors are similar to a village in a fairy tale. There is also a large statue of the little boy Manneken Pis, a symbol of Belgium. In addition to shopping, you can also find many cool photo spots. During Christmas and New Year, this place is beautifully decorated in the Christmas Village theme, complete with Christmas trees, Santa's sleigh and reindeer, and various decorated arches scattered throughout the village. You will forget the cold while walking around. The shops here have clothes, cosmetics, bags, shoes, home decorations, famous Belgian chocolate brands, kitchenware, and various restaurants. You can find everything here in one place. The promotions of each shop vary, but overall, the prices are better than buying in department stores, as is true to the name of an outlet.

Went on a day trip today from Maastricht (straight bus 63 from Maastricht), highly recommended. Hiked a total 12km from 12pm-5pm at Nationaal Park Hoge Kempen in Maasmechelen, it can be done as a day trip and there are mountain biking and hiking trails (refer to the photo for the hiking trails) of various levels of difficulty and distances. The hike (yellow route) was quite doable, and mostly flat without much elevation and can be completed in around an hour or so. Recommended and a nice hike with many lovely sights and trees to behold, not too cold either in November. As there’s not much food options, highly recommended to bring water and enough snacks to last you for the hike. There are several benches or rocks along the way to sit and rest #travel #hike #daytrip #fallcolors #100waysoftravel
