Mons has so much culture and history to offer that a weekend is barely enough to see it. We meet at the Tourist Office on the Grand-Place, one of the most beautiful Belgian market squares. You'll attend a multimedia show and receive full info on the region. Afterwards you can enjoy the city. Stroll through the small bending streets and discover the Collegiate Church Sainte-Waudru and its Treasure Room. Then go to the Square du Château where the Saint-Calixte chapel, the site's museum, opens its doors. Follow the footsteps of Vincent Van Gogh in his house in Cuesmes. The house was recently renovated and you'll be one of the first to discover it.
A few hours of shopping, visiting an exhibition or attending a cultural event, it is all possible in Mons.
