Review & FAQ:

Mons is a vibrant city in the Belgium’s Walloon Region, where medieval architecture, art, and modern technology create a unique vibe that gave the city well-deserved title of the Culture Capital of Europe in 2015. At the heart of the city is the Grand Place, a vast cobblestoned square lined with elegant buildings from different eras as well as quaint cafes and restaurants. Visit the beautiful centuries-old Town Hall and the nearby 17th-century baroque belfry. Next to the belfry is magnificent Parc Château with the 11th-century Saint-Calixte Chapel. Pay your respects at the St Symphorien Military Cemetery, visit the exquisite collection of beautiful objects at the Francois Duesberg Museum, and explore the Grand-Hornu, galleries of contemporary art, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
