Situated in the northern region of Flanders, Belgium, Turnhout is a charming city known for its rich cultural history and captivating architectural beauty. Recognized as the ‘Capital of the Playing Card,’ Turnhout boasts an intriguing Playing Card Museum, showcasing the city's vibrant printing industry dating back to the 18th century. The city is also conducive to outdoor leisure with the lush, sprawling Castle Park and green cycling routes that lead to its nature reserves. Turnhout’s gothic-style architecture, particularly the grandiose St. Peter's Church and the medieval Beguinage, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites, add to the city’s unique allure, leaving travelers to marvel at its historical grandeur.

Nothing bad ever happened to me here but in general there’s a lot of cases of stealing (bikes in most cases). I heard stories of harassment here, the most of the time happened to young girls. Sometimes they’re fights on the streets but it’s more between drunk people at night
