Traveler reviews
Nick Bossuyt
★★★★★3 years agoHet Sint-Janshospitaal is momenteel gesloten tot 16 december. Dit ten gevolge van renovatiewerkzaamheden. De oude apotheek, die bij het hospitaal hoort, is wel te bezichtigen voor een luttele €3. Behalve op maandag...
Marie Nauts
★★★★★a year agoInteressante uitleg als je net binnenkomt, met een projectie op de muur. Jammer dat het sloot om 18u en we laat binnenkwamen, we zullen dit zeker herdenking met meer tijd.
