BELGIUM 2026 CITY GUIDE

The ruined Romanesque abbey at the heart of Stavelot — a short walk from the circuit and one of the Ardennes' finest historic sites.

Belgium's highest point and largest nature reserve — an otherworldly peat bog plateau above the forest, best walked on the boardwalk trails.

The most impressive waterfall in Belgium, near the village of Coo — easy walking paths and a dramatic gorge viewpoint.

Walk the Féronstrée lane, visit the Perron liberty monument, and explore Liège's lively café culture and Wallonian architecture.

The charming medieval streets of Durbuy along the Ourthe river — great for a morning coffee, a browse, and a slow breakfast.

Marked trails from Spa through the Fagnes forest — moderate walking or e-bike hire for a properly immersive Ardennes morning.

The elegant spa town that gave all spa resorts their name — the Pouhon thermal spring, the casino district, and the baths are a calm race-day morning.

Belgium's most impressive show caves — boat trip on an underground river through 1km of illuminated stalactite chambers.

Seek out the local brasses or a Stavelot café for Rochefort 10, Chimay Blue, or Orval — all brewed within the Ardennes region.

Liège's grand museum complex in a 17th-century mansion, the Sunday market on the Quai de la Batte, and the city's famous boulets à la liégeoise for lunch.

Drive south along the Meuse to Dinant — the rock-perched citadel, Notre-Dame church, and the home town of the saxophone.

The extraordinary ruined Cistercian abbey west towards Namur — a hauntingly beautiful 12th-century complex in open countryside.
