On Grote Markt, the neo-Gothic town hall faces the square, while Mercator’s globes fill the MAP museum.
Estimated journey times
The Grote Markt is a broad central square framed by historic façades and the Town Hall, a striking neo-Gothic building. Nearby, the Church of St Nicholas gives the city its name and anchors its medieval history. The open scale of the square is part of local identity and a memorable contrast to the narrower surrounding streets.
The MAP–Mercator museum explores cartography through the work of local-born geographer Gerard Mercator. Its collection includes historic globes and atlases, connecting the town to the history of navigation and world maps. Walburg Castle and Fondatie van Boudelo add further heritage stops among the city’s parks and cultural sites.
