The best way to explore and experience a city’s pulse is to wander their center. The Grand-Place in Mons is one of the beautiful squares in Belgium. The square is filled with cobblestones with stunning buildings lined around it from Gothic to Neo-Classical or Spanish influences. You can easily walk there, admire the architecture, and take a break when tired in one of the cafes at the Grand Place.

From curious folkloric happenings to a museum that put Belgium on the map, Mons (literally meaning ‘mountains,’ although really just a hill) is a jovial kind of town, happy to share its past and future.

The shrine of Saint Waltrude is kept in the Saint Waltrude Collegiate Church in Mons. Each year, as part of the Ducasse de Mons festival, the shrine is placed on the car d’or, a gilded cart, and drawn by horses through the city streets.
