You've asked for it, we've heard you, we thought about it and then we made this dream come true ✨ Yes guys, Mechelen is now available in the Poppy zone as a third big city 💥
First thing first, which vehicle will you find there ?
- ⚡️ Our 100% electric minis : the Skoda e-Citigo and the Seat Mii. They are easy to drive, easy to park and silent. The perfect combo to drive around the city.
- ♻️ The Seat Ibiza, running with bioCNG. This one is manual and has two tanks : one for the CNG and one for the gas. Once the first one is empty (CNG), no worries, it will automatically switch to the second tank with gas. Running out of gas ? Refuel at the nearest gas station and send us your invoice to hello@poppy.be. We will refund you and add some credits on your account as a thank you gift.

📍 So many markets :
- The "Grote markt" : "The Grote Markt, the central square in the historic centre, is dominated by St Rumbold's Tower. You can see it wherever you are. On the other side of the square is the Town Hall. Look at the houses round the Grote Markt. They are from different times and in different styles, including sixteenth-century renaissance and eighteenth-century rococo." 👉 Continue reading
- The "Vismarkt" : "Fish was first traded on the Vismarkt in 1531, after the fish merchants were expelled from the IJzerenleen because of complaints about the smell of fish. There are still a few fish shops on the square today. The Vismarkt and the adjoining Nauwstraat are a hive of activity into the small hours. In the relaxed 'brown cafés', the stylish modern lounge bars and the trendy restaurants you will meet young and young-at-heart Mechelaars." 👉 Continue reading
