A visit to CONTOUR 7 is an ideal opportunity to discover the City of Mechelen. In this chapter we gladly point CONTOUR 7-visitors in the right direction with an interesting selection of local restaurants, cafés and shops situated close to the route of the Biennale. Tasty burger bars, refreshing ice-cream shops, stylish designer stores and many more exciting places are waiting to be discovered. They are all easily recognisable during the Biennale thanks to the CONTOUR 7 sticker on their front windows.
