The Vlaaikensgang is located between the Hoogstraat and the Oude Koornmarkt and dates back to the 16th century and was originally a place of residence for poor people. In the 19th century, the alley was renovated and became a popular venue for artisans and merchants. Today, the Vlaaikensgang is a quiet and picturesque spot in the busy city center, where visitors can enjoy the tranquility and the historic atmosphere.
The alley is lined with cobblestones and is surrounded by beautiful old buildings. It is also home to several small art galleries, cafes and restaurants, which provide a cozy atmosphere and a fun experience for visitors.
