Vlaeykensgang is a hidden medieval lane in central Antwerp, reached through plain-looking doors off Hoogstraat, Oude Koornmarkt, and Pelgrimsstraat. The narrow passage feels like a private courtyard tucked behind the city's busy historic core.
It is a short visit, but a memorable one: old brick walls, quiet corners, and a sense of stepping behind the public face of the city. Restaurants and discreet houses now fill much of the lane.
