The Vlaeykensgang in Antwerp, a small alley close to the city hall. It is a throw-back to the late Middle Ages, a time when many streets weren't wider than a doorway. The alley was created in 1591 and was originally inhabited by shoemakers. The name is presumably derived from the Flemish word 'Vlaai', a local kind of pie. Today the Vlaeykensgang is a quiet refuge from the hectic city center and a popular spot to listen to the cathedral's carillon concerts that are held every monday evening during summertime. You can also have lunch or dinner here in an authentic historic atmosphere. One of the entrances of the Vlaeykensgang is at the Oude Koornmarkt, a former corn-market. The entrance, at number 16, is no wider than a doorway, so make sure you don't walk past it.
