The old village of Villefranche-sur-Mer is marvelous! It is one of the most beautiful medieval villages I have ever visited. The streets, passages, stone stairs, yellow and orange-painted houses, the discrete scent of jasmine, and sceneries of the sea are simply mind-blowing.

Great place. Amount of team and individual games occupy your whole day. There are indoor and outdoor activities for all ages. Most of them around climbing, on a rocks on trees and also 32m controlled free fall. Highly recommended to visit when weather is good so you can enjoy all of them.
Kamil N — Google review
I'm writing this (April 2025) because we nearly decided to skip this place due to some terrible reviews on Google / TripAdvisor. Bottom line- it was absolutely brilliant. Perfect for a young family. We were here for a full day - kids aged 12, 10 and 4, and lucky for us the the sun decided to show up. There were no queues whatsoever on any of the rides. Ok, perhaps 1 or 2 of the staff here weren't overly friendly (like some other reviews are suggesting) but tbh, 95% of staff here were extremely kind and helpful. If I had one suggestion to the venue it would be to open the zip line for longer (it is only open for 2 hours). Otherwise, everything was on point. Also note, there's stuff here for toddlers but these attractions are naturally separate to the main features. And regarding the price, yes, it is slightly pricey at circa €50 a head... But imo, worth every cent. You get a full day here where you cannot complete every attraction, even if you try! In conclusion, the kids absolutely loved it and its also great fun for us adults. Definitely a place we recommend for anyone visiting Belgium!
Jonathan G — Google review
Great place for a visit with the family or colleagues if you like. Plenty of adventures to try out, all safe to do. Not so much for with a toddler but teens and up will have a great time. We visited Dino Mission with our toddler which was too artificial and not so interesting. Will come back with the teens only for the more daring things. Parking is plenty and close by, paid of course. Enough electric chargers available as well but not all of them work. Outside the parking there are better chargers.
R — Google review
We had a day here around Halloween. It was very nice for our 9 years old daughter but it was limited for our 4 years old daughter. We had to switch to do the adventure activities with my partner. I do not think getting full ticket for both partners should be necessary for families with young kids, since one needs to look after the younger child all the time. All in all, we still had good time.
Buket E — Google review
A huge playground for all ages, rock climbing, abseiling, treetop clambering, a maze, indoor playground, bars and restaurants. Food quality good. For two adults and two kids, a day pass for most activities will cost you more tha 100€. + a 10 euro parking fee
Marc S — Google review
The park is amazing the infrastructure is really nice. A serious damper is the often young and rude staff / students manning the attractions. As some were nice and competent others were constantly playing on their phone which should be forbidden or opening the attractions late given for example somebody had to go up to the fee fall. Also playing on the phone while kids are climbing poses a safety risk in my opinion. Not speaking Flemish as a foreign visitor some of those played stupid and only gave directives in Flemish while I pointed out that I unfortunately do only speak French or English among other languages… it’s sad to see how badly trained staff can ruin an amazing concept.
Gilles F — Google review
We went for the Christmas afternoon event. On several occasions tried to book tickets and was fully booked but when we eventually managed to book tickets the place was half empty. The children liked the tube slides a lot. The light path was interesting but waiting for Santa in the cold outside for long time wasn't. Still, it was probably overall nice for the children.
Kyr B — Google review
Interesting amusement park with some unusual attractions. There are three tickets: one for entrance without any attractions included, an adventure pass, and a fly pass, which includes all adventure activities as well as three additional flying activities, i.e. zip line, dead drop and the big air. It is very surprising that this latter activity is a jump onto a big air pillow, which is not insured as you need to sign a physical harm waiver.

These include various shapes such as animals, people, and objects. The park also boasts colorful flowers and serene pathways for guided tours. It's a great place to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and explore the beautiful outdoor park with its unique flora designs.
Thoroughly enjoyed this local park packed with a wide range of sculptures. Very peaceful... Enjoyed a gentle walk around and sitting from time time as benches Nd chairs made available. Unfortunately the Cafe is shut outside of the summer season but there were a small selection of drink from distribution machines. There is a small shop offering all types of souvenirs. In my case I bought a soft toy for my dog 😅 PARKING There is a large parking area in the front of the Park but you do have to pay. That said, you can easily park your car there all day and enjoy a leisurely walk up to the village. Only 5 mins aqay

We recently visited the ISKCON temple in Durbuy, It was a truly serene and beautiful experience. The temple's peaceful atmosphere and stunning surroundings made it a perfect place for reflection.

Quirky and an entertaining hour or two. Slightly down-at-heel - most topiary items in need of TLC and particularly weeding!! Seemed to be just one member of staff on duty for the whole site when we visited. Not many facilties open and a bit sad looking, but still enjoyable. Most hedges were recognisable 😊
Robin S — Google review
The park was nice to visit, the entrance ticket was a bit expensive for how small the park is, but at the same time it pays the mini-golf entrance, so that's alright. The terrasse is a nice feature to the park.

Koen H — Google review
Durbuy is a very nice City and worth to visit -BUT it looks like that most of the shops/tea rooms etc. are just interest in fast money from the tourists. We did visit on a Thursday from 09 am to just after lunch. Lot of Shops had not open. The Shop promoting local Durbuy products only is open from Friday 02pm and Saturday/Sunday. So no interest to promote the local products, just the fast weekend money. We had to check 4 places before we found one open for breakfast. ( it was a hotel, very friendly staff). Durbuy as a City maybe should look into that subject. We met, on thus Thursday morning people from the UK,Netherlands,Germany and Argentina- all not happy with the situation.

The most fruitful way and perhaps the best time to visit Durbuy is to linger there longer by visiting the Christmas market concurrently from November to January. During autumn in November, Durbuy is really beautiful and romantic to stroll around the place.

“Reading between the Lines” See-through Church

Mentioned on

Sculpture
Sights & Landmarks
Reading between the Lines” See-through Church is a remarkable steel artwork constructed in 2011, resembling a transparent church and serving as a popular photography spot. Situated in Doorkijkkerk - Reading between the lines, 3840 Borgloon, this attraction is located in the scenic region of Haspengouw in the south of Limburg.
Nice piece of art - can get there by walking or cycling, easy to access, then people can follow the trails to the Twijfelgrens (but not recommend for wet days). There is summer bar close by from April. Great view during sunset.
Tien-Thanh N — Google review
Original and unique place located in Borgloon. More than the sculpture, this place offers an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Limburgse Haspengouw (landscape dedicated on agriculture, specifically fruit cultivation, on a slightly hilly set up). From there you can discover the region with plenty of beautiful trails between the cultures, meadows and groves. Be very careful : You can't access directly by car the area ! If you drive on the surrounding agricultural tracks (only for tractors, bicycles, horse riders and pedestrians), you'll break the law and may get a €174+ fine (third-degree infraction). Then, do NOT go through the signs (F99c) obviously indicating the restriction (see picture). Police is patrolling and may intercept you whether driving or being parked. Instead, you can easily reach the place (5 minutes walk) from a parking located nearby on the Sint-Truidersteenweg (see picture). Enjoy !

Well worth a trip to see. It was a little smaller in reality than I expected- not from any fault of the description- just me- but it is quite amazing to see it and how solid yet see through it can be. The area is so quiet and beautiful to walk through as well. Parking was easy enough for us, but it is only a large lay-by nearby so could easily get busy.

Liege-Guillemins is a prominent railway hub in Belgium, known for its striking modern architecture designed by the renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. The station features a futuristic design with a vaulted steel and glass roof, creating a space-age ambiance that captivates visitors. As one of the busiest stations in the region, Liege-Guillemins serves as a gateway to high-speed trains, offering convenient access for travelers.
Well maintained train station with a colourful, huge roof that you would not stop looking at. The staff at the station office is very very friendly and helpful. We missed our train due to the delay of another train. The lady booked us another train route for the next day along with our to and from ticket to Leuven. Very much satisfied with the services provided.
Animesh K — Google review
A visually impressive train station, which looks incredible at night, almost like a spaceship. However, it is full of beggars, inside and out, which makes it feel very unsafe. There are also lots of homeless people sleeping inside the station building. I found some of the staff at the ticket office to be a little unfriendly, but overall, the train station served its purpose, with platforms which were easy to access, and trains which arrived and departed on time.
Tintin ( — Google review
I visited Liege city two years ago during a trip from Maastricht. The distance was short, and the train ride was quick and comfortable. When I arrived, I was amazed by the station’s(Liege Guillemins) breathtaking architecture. Designed by Santiago Calatrava, the sweeping glass and steel structure felt open, modern, and futuristic. It’s not just a train station it’s truly a piece of art. Everything was very clean, organized, and easy to navigate. It’s a must-visit for anyone who appreciates modern design. After exploring the station, I spent some time visiting the city of Liege. The city is full of history, culture, and lively streets. I walked around the old town, visited beautiful churches like the Liege Cathedral, and enjoyed the view from the top of the Montagne de Bueren, a long staircase with amazing city views. Liege has a friendly atmosphere with scenic spots along the Meuse River. Whether you love architecture, history, or just relaxing walks, Liege is definitely worth a visit.
Dr. J — Google review
I love the architecture of this station. The design just pops and it is very bright. Easy access to all platforms. The bus station is right out in front of the station. Few restaurants and food stands in the station. More outside of the station across the street. I really enjoyed my visit to this station. It is beautiful.
Michael M — Google review
Don't try to use luggage storage at this station. There is a tiny room in a filthy corner without any signage, impossible to find without asking. There are around 20 lockers for the whole station. Despite almost all the large ones being empty, the machine stated them as "sold out". Even if you get one, they are ridiculously expensive.
Lucas K — Google review
Be aware: Departure platform (mostly) blocked. We arrived on platform 1 and had 9 minutes to get to platform 2. We almost missed our connection because the first three entrances to platform 2 were blocked with railing, or yellow barrier. We tried 1 set of stairs, 2 escalators (which were running, but blocked). We jumped over the barrier at 2nd escalators, because the train was about to leave. We passed another set of stairs that also was blocked. At least three passengers missed train. Luckily we only had two 23kg bags and our backpacks 😅
Bryan D — Google review
One of the most exciting places I' ve seen in my life. Frankly a paradise on earth for photographers and for architects. I suggest you to come 1 hour earlier than your train departure, because it is high danger to miss it as you'll admire and photograph it! Finally, we have to notice that it is one of the most central train stations in the world!
EPITOPOU M — Google review
Fabulous design, have been through here a few times on my way to Bruxelles, Kortrijk and south to the Ardennes. Nice shops on the bottom floor, 3 coffee shops, but missing a General store for travellers. Has a mezzanine level that is completely derelict, pity, would have been a great addition to the railway station and added something to it's usefulness.

St. Paul's Cathedral in Liege is a grand Gothic church with stunning stained-glass windows and a serene cloister. The cathedral houses remarkable statues by Jean Delcour, including one of St. Paul, as well as the prized Reliquary of Charles the Bold in its Treasury. Visitors can also explore the cozy green yard and gallery on the premises, and admire the masterpiece Lucifer statue.
St. Paul’s Cathedral in Liège is a beautiful place to visit. Walking through the main cathedral, with its stunning stained glass and peaceful atmosphere, is already a treat. What makes it even more special is the chance to explore the back rooms, which are open to visitors. For €8, you can check out the treasure rooms, where they’ve got some amazing artifacts like gold chalices and reliquaries. It’s a great way to dive into the history of the place. Definitely worth it if you’re in Liège!

This captivating, must-visit cathedral containing several gems worth seeing in person: - Masterwork neo-gothic pulpit with especially striking statue of satan by Willem Geefs - Colourful mix of renaissance and modern stained glas windows - Ornamental church ceiling decorated with sublime leaf motives (unique in many current day churches) - Opulent gold and silver saint-Lamberts shrine If you have some time and money left I recommend you visit the adjacent treasury which contains the dazzling reliquary bust of Saint-Lambert and reliquary of Charles the Bold.

Beautiful church, but for some reason it's forbidden to drink a beer in public place cuz there was "NO" sign and almost got a ticket. Put the sign up that tourists don't get fines for "NO REASON" and I would advise all tourists to find out what public places in Belgium are restricted for drinking in public.

Historic Walking Areas
The Citadelle is a hill in the city of Liege, Belgium that overlooks the town and the surrounding countryside. The views from the citadel are particularly impressive during sunrise and sunset.
This hilly area of the Citadel of Liege is hard work to get to, but you'll be rewarded with excellent views of the city below. The views from the top of Montagne de Bueren are excellent, but if you go further along to Belvédère Liège, the views are even clearer and better. There isn't much to see of the citadel and it's mostly ruins. You can still walk around and see a lot of what remains as much of it is still standing. The area has paved walking paths and is a pleasant area for a stroll.

There are 4 way marked walking routes which are categorized and 3 star in Michelin guide! Our walk started at Degrés des dentellières (the street of Lacemakers who lived just beside the townhall, and of such importance was their art). A rather unsuspecting entrance on Rue Pierreuse leads to some stairs which lead to a brick building in ruins. Yes, that was a part of the citadel. A few more stairs from here leads to the Terraces!

This was a really cool bar, right next to the giant steps. Downstairs you were able to get food, upstairs and outside was just a bar. They had all their own beers on tap as well as some other local breweries. If the weather is good the garden was a great spot for a drink.

Probably the most impressive flight of stairs I’ve ever seen & climbed to be fair, and I’ve been up more than a few stairs in my time. Needed to catch my breath now & again! Wouldn’t like to be the postman here (yes there are letterboxes) As the signs keep telling you, keep the noise down to respect the local residents.

Montagne de Bueren is one of the most impressive spots in Liège. Climbing all those steps might be a bit of a challenge, but once you reach the top, it’s absolutely worth it. The view over the city is truly breathtaking — especially at sunset, it looks like a painting. Just be careful on the way down… your legs might still think you’re climbing up! 😄🏙️
Niho — Google review
A nice short work out if you fancy it. Saw a few locals running up and down. Lovely views along the way if you stop and turn around and it leads to a prominent monument and viewpoint. Plenty of routes leading on from the top to wander back down or just take the stairs down. It’s a public pathway so no need to book or buy tickets just walk.
Michael C — Google review
Worth the climb! Most famous location in liege. Suitable for families to visit. MUST SEE all the view points after going up hill. Only disadvantage is for wheel chairs and baby strollers. We will need to carry them with us to the top.
Sharanyan R — Google review
Good exercise with breath taking views up and down the stairs. You can count them as you go to see how many they are
Gerald N — Google review
It has around 364 steps, built early as a passage to the city. You will find amazing views of the Liege city from the top. On reaching the top you will find a hospital and view points

Great little museum and great way to pass some time also.
Mark K — Google review
Enthusiastic staff, not much common language but mutual friendliness solved all obstacles. An english language guide leaflet commanded us through the displays. A unique collection of relics found in the Ardennes battles. Place to go for war history aficionados! And never forget... salute to the souls that suffered and gave their lives on both sides of the conflict. 🙏
Janne W — Google review
Visited this gem of a museum last saturday and it did not dissapoint! The building is beautiful and it has that authentic feeling to it, like stepping back in time 75 years. A great collection of mostly German and US stuff and superb artefacts from the Battle of the Bulge that have been found in the last decades, fit into this rather small museum. Make sure to check their opening times before visiting, no need for reservation.
Jerôme — Google review
This was the highlight of our visit to this region! Quite unexpected, and incredibly inexpensive for the experience. The only minor issue was that the glass sometimes prevented great pictures, and the areas are somewhat narrow. However it's a must see for an unforgettable experience, and a true monument to clear dedication to preserving history. The building looked as though it would be disappointing, but it was three floors full of up close and personal WWII relics, uniforms, documents, weapons, etc. Tight quarters but worth every Euro. The owners have unearthed many of the incredible pieces themselves, and are affable and humble. You MUST visit! These pictures is just a fraction of what is there.
Rob L — Google review
It is truly amazing, the amount of war relics collected in this place. The owner is a very nice man in his late 40's that really loves to go and search for more war relics left behind after WWII. In short it is a large collection of all kinds of stuff from the war, it looks small from the outside. But we easily spend an hour looking at the different items. We went on a weekday in May, officially it was closed. After a short phonecall it was al good and he came to open up at the arrange time. He speaks native French, excellent English and a little Dutch

Fantastic private museum, cheap for all it contains. Relatively small, but crammed full of all kinds of artifacts. Some barely recognizeable, some like they were made yesterday. Check their facebook page for opening times. Since the owner died his friends run it on the weekends, so they cant always be open. Cash only, no cards.

We were given a personal tour by Veronique through the museum. It was a great experience to hear her personal stories and see the multitudes of war material from the bulge. An amazing collection which ended with video of real battle film from the area. Absolutely amazing. My wife and I were treated so well and are thankful for all the insights we could be given. Thanks for the work you do! This is a must-see artifact museum. From Caledonia, Michigan.

Les Grottes de Remouchamps

Mentioned on

Nature & Parks
Caverns & Caves
Les Grottes de Remouchamps, located in Aywaille, is a subterranean cave complex with historical significance and home to bats. Visitors can take a guided tour through the caves by boat, marveling at the incredible limestone formations and navigating the underground network. It's important to be prepared for dirty and slippery conditions, as well as muddy water puddles. The clever use of lighting enhances the experience, and multilingual guides provide insights into the cave's history.
Really enjoyed our visit to the caves during the holiday in July. Impressive to see and to experience the beautiful way down. The way back to the entrance happens in little guided boats. Our guide had very interesting information to tell, all done in an enthousiastic way. We really recommend this trip if you are in the neighbourhood. Less suited for small children as the path can be a bit slippery and the stairs are steep.
H D — Google review
The Caves of Remouchamps are a fascinating experience! The tour starts on foot through impressive rock formations and ends with a unique boat ride on an underground river – a real highlight. Visitors should be sure-footed and not claustrophobic, as some passages are narrow and uneven. It’s quite chilly inside, so wearing a sweater and long pants is definitely recommended. A great mix of adventure and natural beauty – highly recommended!
Julien — Google review
This was a super fun cave to visit! You get to walk through the first part completely at your own pace, with information boards along the way. At the end, you take a boat back out. Before the boat ride, you can also make the climb up to the largest gallery: the Cathedral. The boat trip back really makes it a unique experience. The guide on the boat shares some interesting facts during the ride, too. Definitely highly recommended. It's also perfectly fine for kids. Just remember to wear good shoes since it gets wet and slippery. You'll also go down two spiral staircases at one point.

Very great experience! We have explored different caves in Belgium, but this one of my favorite. We went during the Halloween weekend and everything was set and decorated for the occasion. Loved the boat on the way back!
Rolando P — Google review
The cave was beautifull. Frontdesk employees were a bit unclear in their instructions. The guide was nice. A bit stressfull to find the boat. But it was certainly worth the price. Quick tip. Check google for discounts on sites like social deal or tripper. We payed like 13 euros a person
Ri D — Google review
A beautiful cave with all amenities: lighting, walkways, and information signs. During the boat trip, the guide/boatman was very kind and humorous. Bring warm clothes — it’s cold in the cave even in August, and you’ll have to sit still in the boat for quite a while. The only downside is that there is no cell phone reception inside the cave :))

We enjoyed our visit. Everything was nice and clear and possible in english and french. Helpful personel. Clearly signed caves. Suitable for my 4 and 9 year old children. Half walking and half boat trip. Time about 1,5h. I recomend it.

Located in the picturesque town of Spa, Thermes de Spa offers a blend of modern wellness and traditional hydrotherapy. The thermal bath complex provides indoor and outdoor swimming areas, steam rooms, and massages with a stunning view of the city. Visitors can follow in the footsteps of centuries-old guests to experience the reputed benefits of the spring waters, such as improved circulation, metabolism, and skin health. The facility also features saunas, hammams, and various beauty treatments utilizing the local spring water.
Quiet, relaxing atmosphere. Clean, tidy. Tasty cuisine, large portions. There were quite a lot of people, but due to the rather large territory, it was not felt and did not bother. We will come again, we liked it.
Yana L — Google review
It is a nice place but not maintained so well. The showers don’t work well, and the facilities are basic. The saunas are nice, but there are only two of them, one steam and one dry. The place is like a swimming pool with amazing view from the pool and the sauna. The pool is not so big, but definitely nice vibes and a pleasant atmosphere. We enjoyed our time there. We went by the private funicular from the hotel down the hill which was very convenient.
Ati — Google review
Had a lovely time here. Really nice naturistic area of the spa, with a sauna and hammam. There is also an area where you can enjoy the sauna with the swimsuit. The pool is quite big, and the space outside is quiet and you can enjoy the nice view. The relaxation areas are a bit small and not always quiet though. Also the areas inside the changing rooms could be a bit cleaner, and the showers don’t work super well but overall they’re okay. Didn’t have any food but it seemed a bit pricey.
Chiara C — Google review
The structure is quite old, a nice renovation would make it better. I had a massage and it was a very relaxing experience, but the rest was not so relaxing. The floor is dirty of water and lots of hair and it is mandatory to walk barefoot. Hygiene should be the priority in such a place. There should be more staff cleaning all the time, because walking on other people hair is disgusting. Not to mention that walking on this wet floor is very dangerous. Showers were also not new and clean. Honestly I would have expected more.
Giulia P — Google review
The name sounds more special than the place is. More like a public but warmer and much more quieter pool. The 'brasserie' looks good but minimal choice of meals. For the price good and large portions. Might come back, might not

It’s truly a very peaceful place, the food is incredibly delicious and tasty, the staff are excellent, but the massage is not very impressive.
Raha K — Google review
This review is for the bath and sauna facilities as I didn’t have any treatments (massages etc). I was tickled by the idea of visiting the “OG” spa. The pool areas are enjoyable, with special little fountains and jets to self-massage in the water. Locker rooms are kept very clean by the attendants. The sauna area was small but adequate, I suppose; there was one sauna and one hammam and three different pools of different temperatures (this was the naturalist area, I didn’t venture into the swimwear-required area). The restaurant isn’t itself a reason to visit, but it does its duty as a place to refuel during a long day. The complex doesn’t feel “fancy”, more “clinical”, which is just something to be aware of. FYI, they rent robes at the reception area.
Rex P — Google review
Very nice spa, but the ladies working in the reception are very unkind, didnt gave the full information, gave us some towels, and at the end charfe us 18 euros just to use 2 towels. Felt scam and their attitud sucks. Bitter sweet experience after a nice day in spa. People just taking advantage to make money...

Sint Pieter Fort

Mentioned on

Nature & Parks
Castle
Fort Sint Pieter is an 18th-century hill fort located in a nature and recreation park between Maastricht and Liege. Originally built to defend against the French, it now offers guided tours and is connected to the famous caves of St. Pietersberg via tunnels. The caves, with a total length of 200 kilometers, feature ancient fossils and remnants from World War II.
This place is well-run. The restrooms are free with your ticket. We booked the Fort Tour and enjoyed it so much that we added on the Mine caves tour. I liked how the guide asked questions and explained the reasoning behind the design of the canon shooting area of the fort’s bunkers, for example.

Really cool place to visit as it is rich in history and you get a nice view of the surrounding areas. You can walk on your own but to be honest the best thing you can do is get a guided tour. We had a very lady guiding us and telling us the purpose of the place and how it was used back in the day. Tour wasn't very long and you can get another tour in the underground exhibit on a different theme. All in all I recommend this experience to enhance your knowledge of Maastricht.
Stefan T — Google review
Our excursion was in English. Although our guide was not a native English speaker, his story was coherent and interesting. It was a please listening to our guide because he was passionate about the fort’s history! I’m sorry I didn’t ask for his name. If you are interested in architecture or engineering, it’s definitely worth visiting. It might amaze you to see how smart those people were so many centuries ago!
Katja S — Google review
Well worth a visit, this place was amazing. Would advise to dress accordingly as it is cool once you are underground. Our tour guide was amazing and extremely knowledgeable. The history behind these tunnels makes them almost magical and with the artwork dotted throughout makes it all the more interesting. Our tour took just under an hour and we'll worth the money. Unfortunately it did not include the vault so if you want to see that check your booking and I believe it is another 40mins.
Gill M — Google review
My visit to Sint Pieter Fort and the North Caves at Maastricht Underground was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning historical site and its fascinating stories. Our tour guide, Ton, was absolutely fantastic. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also passionate about the history and significance of the fort and caves. His engaging storytelling and deep insights made the tour both educational and entertaining. Ton’s ability to bring history to life is commendable, and he ensured that everyone in our group, regardless of age, had a wonderful time. The tour itself was well-organized and offered great value for money. We explored the intriguing tunnels of the North Caves, learning about their historical uses and the various artworks hidden within. The cool, dark caves provided a stark contrast to the sunny fort above, making for a diverse and exciting experience. Sint Pieter Fort, with its impressive structure and panoramic views of Maastricht, was another highlight. Ton’s explanations of the fort’s strategic importance and the events that took place there added depth to our visit. Overall, this tour exceeded our expectations. It was both fun and informative, and we left with a greater appreciation for Maastricht’s rich history. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Don’t miss out on this gem of an experience!
Kirstin O — Google review
It is a captivating blend of history and nature. The fortress, steeped in rich history and guided by knowledgeable experts, offers an immersive experience for history enthusiasts. What truly sets this site apart are the intriguing underground caves and tunnels, revealing the fort's military secrets. I was enchanted by the cool, dimly lit passageways, which add a mysterious charm to the visit. Surrounded by panoramic views of rolling hills and the serene Maas River, this hidden gem provides a unique and unforgettable journey through time and natural beauty. Highly recommended for a fascinating adventure.

Book Store Dominicanen, situated in Maastricht, the Netherlands, is a captivating literary destination set within a medieval church dating back to the 13th century. This unique indie bookstore offers an array of Dutch and English titles across various genres and international selections. The stunning architecture of the former Dominican church provides a serene ambiance for book lovers and history enthusiasts alike.
Walking into Dominicanen feels like entering a literary sanctuary. The moment you step inside this former church, you're struck by the incredible atmosphere - centuries-old stone walls, soaring Gothic arches, and thousands of books creating the most inspiring environment for book lovers. I spent hours here just wandering through the different sections, each level offering new perspectives of this architectural marvel. The café is perfect for settling in with a new purchase and soaking in the unique ambiance. What impressed me most was how they've managed to create a fully functional modern bookstore while maintaining the sacred, contemplative feeling of the original space. The staff clearly takes pride in this special place. Whether you buy anything or not, this bookstore offers an experience unlike anywhere else in the world. Pure magic for anyone who loves books, history, or beautiful spaces.

It amazing how the Dutch people repurposed their old church and became a such beautiful bookstore. The title of most beautiful bookstore in the world is second to none! The old church Become a bookstore is much better some of the other churches became a bar and restaurant or some became an apartments if you asked me! You can slap have a cup of coffee or something in the back of the bookstore to admire the old church of the bookstore or the book you just purchased!

Absolutely stunning bookstore inside a historic church. The architecture is breathtaking, the books are well-curated, and the little café adds a cozy touch. A must-visit for book lovers and anyone who appreciates history and design. The most impressive detail was that the figures on the ground were grave lids(ledger stones).

Boekhandel Dominicanen is truly one of the most beautiful bookstores I have ever visited. Located inside a stunning former church, it offers a magical atmosphere enhanced by colorful lighting that makes the place even more captivating. The book selection is broad and well curated. However, it can get very crowded at times, especially on weekends, likely because many tourists come just to look around, so going up the stairs can feel quite packed and a bit uncomfortable.

Such an amazing place!! It was my first time visiting bookstore that used to be a church. There are murals on the dome and beautiful, calm marble details near the bookshelves. Even though I didn’t find a book I wanted, just sitting in the cafe with a coffee and soaking in the atmosphere was a joy in itself. The café takes last orders at 5:45 PM. It looks like they only serve non-alcoholic drinks at the moment, it’d be perfect if they offer a glass of 🥂 too!

Maastricht, Markt is a large square with a variety of shops and dining options. While it may not have the same allure as the 'Vrijthof' square, it is definitely worth a visit.

Basilica of Our Lady

Basilica
Museums
The Basilica of Our Lady, also known as Slevrouwe, is a Romanesque Catholic church located in Maastricht. It was primarily built in the 11th and 12th centuries on the site of an earlier religious building dating back to the 5th century AD. The basilica features stained-glass windows and is a fine example of Mosan architecture.
The Basilica of Our Lady in Maastricht is one of those places that quietly stays with you. Stepping through its heavy Romanesque doors, I felt like I had entered a sanctuary carved out of time itself. The dim light, the scent of candles, and the silence inside the Star of the Sea chapel create a sense of peace that’s almost sacred. It’s not flashy or overwhelming—it’s intimate, timeless, and deeply moving. A quiet corner of the city where history and faith still breathe.
Felipe B — Google review
The Basilica of our Lady is a beautiful and peaceful place to visit. It’s one of the oldest churches in the Netherlands and has amazing architecture. The inside is quiet and full of history, with high ceilings, colorful windows, and old religious items.
Lelanie D — Google review
A beacon of faith in Maastricht's historic center, the Basilica of Our Lady ⛪ is a magnificent example of Mosan-Romanesque architecture. Built in the 11th and 12th centuries, its formidable, fortress-like westwork was designed for defense as well as worship. Known locally as Slevrouwe (Star of the Sea), the basilica has been a significant pilgrimage site for centuries, revered for its 15th-century statue of the Virgin Mary. The dark, contemplative interior, with its ancient crypt and valuable treasury, offers a powerful glimpse into the city's deep religious and cultural heritage. The Basilica of Our Lady is a true cornerstone of Maastricht, embodying centuries of history and devotion.

A church that is free to duck out of the rain. The main chapel has very pretty stain glass. There's a small chapel that's open outside of the time for the main church for a quick prayer. Museum portion is 5 euros/person and is separate (Sept 2024). Sort of eerie in a storm, not well lit.

Went for a wonder around as we knew there was an amateur race and wanted to take it in. Felt brilliant to be there, we found a stand to sit in and watched for a few hours. It was a very hot day so grateful it was in the shade. On a track day this would absolutely brilliant. Great to visit a formula 1 track. Staff were easy with us walking around.

Amazing experience watching F1 Grand Prix at this location. Just remember, there will be traffic if you come by car, so make your timing accordingly. I would recommend to buy fixed seat like at least a silver ticket because bronze tickets have no specific seat and it can be difficult to find a good view point. However, once the race is started, you can enjoy it from anywhere around the circuit. Normally it rains during the event at end of July, so remember to take your protection like raincoats and water resistant shoes. I saw many people are camping at the location which is a better option I would say if possible, to avoid all the traffic.

This legendary and historical circuit is very well kept. Eau Rouge is much steeper than images suggest and lives up to the hype. It's a fantastic wide and fast track. The only lunch available during the trackday was an expensive (but very average) buffet so bring your own.

The overall experience at Spa was really great. The circuit is one of my favorites – high-speed curves, good overtaking spots, and fantastic energy. I stayed at Silver 1, and despite the concrete seating, it's truly a great spot with a wonderful view of Eau Rouge. However, there are some points for improvement: Come on, Spa organizers! It took four hours to exit the yellow parking lot. This is a shame, and it's been like this for years! The Silver stands really deserve a cover to protect from the rain. The fan zone was quite disappointed. There were only simulators, a show car, and tire-changing activities. I was expecting much more. And during red flags, instead of just having someone trying to hype up the public with random music and basic entertainment, interviews, some curiosities about the circuit and Formula 1, or historic images from the circuit's past would work much better. It was really boring to listen to an hour of random music and watch someone trying to make people have fun. Overall, it was a good experience, but there are many aspects that the organizers should improve
Braulio D — Google review
Fantastic circuit to come & watch the racing, great views from the grandstand of the start/finish line & the pits & podium. Decent array of food & drink available, including free water refill stations. Lots of merchandise available by inside & out of the circuit, although fairly pricey. Biggest negative is getting to & particularly, from the circuit, as the roads are country roads & there's pretty much 1 road in, 1 road out, so long delays, particularly getting away from the circuit. My advice is to arrive as early as possible when coming to the circuit.

But all the places with good views for GA tickets had been blocked by black cloth over fencing. Basically trying to force you to buy a much more expensive ticket for a view. Also, the parking was A NIGHTMARE! Quick to take your money and guide you into a spot, but when the race was over, not a single person in sight to help direct traffic. It was everyone for themselves. We sat in a farm field for almost 3 hours trying to leave!

Went on a Ferrari practice day…and it was a little confusing to navigate the venue. We explored until we were told we couldn’t go in the restricted area. Did get up to the podium, restaurant and gift shop. Walked around different areas and it was a fun afternoon!

Wonderful museum with an extraordinary collection of German uniforms and equipment, all in very good condition, also lot of US. The collection is exhibited with an eye for detail. Tip for parents: this is not an do-and-experience museum and therefore less suitable for (small) children.

Best historical center (WWII war museum) I have ever seen. Very complete. Pity the movie theater had no airco, this place was damn hot. Enjoy the pictures I took.
Marald B — Google review
Have seen more museums about WWII. Still this is an interesting one, because of an unknown but important confrontation that happened during the Battle of the Bulge, only 200 meters from the location. There are several personal items to be seen and interesting stories to be heard from soldiers involved in this story. For app. 1,5 - 2 hrs one can spend a good time learning about these events and more, being guided by an audio tour.

Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery and Memorial

Military cemetery
Sights & Landmarks
Remains of 7,992 US soldiers interred in a cemetery run by the American Battle Monuments Commission.
The largest American WWII memorial in Belgium. Beautiful and educational space with each state and some territories’ seals engraved on the building. Right on a main road and worth stopping for at least a few minutes. (Note the parking seems to close earlier than the memorial; 4 vs 5pm as of Sept 2024.)
Graham G — Google review
They say, “If you stand still, you fall behind.” But in a place like this, you have to stand still. To pause. To reflect. On what was lost — so many lives, taken in the name of God, of money, of ideas that lost all meaning in the bloodshed. And yet, humanity seems to have learned so little. How many more must die before we truly understand what peace means? A place filled with silence. But the silence screams.

I arrived here somewhat by accident just out on a bike ride after taking part in the Liege Bastogne Liege event and when I parked up my bike just outside I was met by a somewhat stern warden who told me I couldn’t leave it there. When I spoke to her I told her I had been to several American cemeteries including the Somme and elsewhere in Belgium. Once she realised I was genuinely interested her mood completely changed and I was actually given a place inside the building to keep my bike whilst I visited the cemetery. Like all American cemeteries here in France and Belgium this place of burial and remembrance is absolutely immaculate, sad and intriguing at the same time, a fitting reminder to all those who gave up their lives in the great wars.

Very emotional visit. If you're in Belgium and can make a stop, I highly suggest visiting some of the men who gave their all for the liberation of Europe in WWII. If you're looking to visit please either have a tour group ready to help you get there or rent a car. It's probably too far to walk and the small country road doesn't have a side walk.

Freddy-78 — Google review
Bad experience with the hotel that cooperates with this agency. Bathroom was nasty and moldy the employees started cleaning up the kitchen at 1 a.m. so there was little to no sleep. After the short stay of only two days I addressed my concerns to the agency. They didn't care because I didn't file the complains while being on the stay, after explaining that it's been only two days in which I was busy the whole time and didn't have time to call them and wait for their solution they offered a small discount on my next trip with that agency which I declined. They also got pictures of the bathroom with the hotel name on it, didn't care. Since it wasn't even cheaper than some random Airbnb + entry fee into Disneyland I wouldn't recommend it for anyone. Even being on a budget there's much better solutions, since they don't care about the quality of your trip they offer nothing at all in comparison to other solutions. Never again.

This was a lovely spa experience. This was my first German Spa experience and I loved it! I would highly recommend this to anyone. When we first arrived, I made an appointment at the spa for an hour massage. It was amazing and relaxing. He was extremely professional yet personable. I felt very at ease and booked again for the day we left. He came in early to accommodate our early departure. He made tea and gave little snacks after the second appointment. It was wonderful! Call early to book a massage! Two of the best massages I have ever received. The hotel room was nice, the beds could do with a little upgrade. Very clean! The hotel staff were always attentive and even though we speak little German, they were very patient with us. The breakfasts and dinners were also wonderful. The staff were efficient and friendly. We will be back, hopefully we can stay longer than 3 days!

Unfortunately as tourists from a foreign country we did know that such services are traditionally nude without segregation between men and women. The staff did not bother to tell us about this even though we had a small child with us, and adressed them in English language to show that we are not locals.

The building is from Cuypers too (1853).

Visiting Roermond, this place seemed like a must go. We've been there, asking how long is the tour. The reception was only willing to sell ticket. It was 30 minutes before the closing time, the tour is more than one hour, we were asking to the reception how long is the tour, and still, the reception only wanted to sell ticket. - How long is the visit ? - Yes, you can visit. - How long is the visit ? - Yes, you can visit, the ticket is... [forgotten price] - Do we have time to see everything ? - If you want to visit, the ticket is.... [forgotten price] This was the conversation during 10 minutes, when suddenly, by somekind of miracle, the reception says that the museum will close very soon, and we'll have no time for everything.... So, let me ask you something. Was it me speaking bad English ? Was the employee speaking bad English ? What's the point of selling a ticket as you know that people will have no time for the complete tour ? Are you scammers ? Because of this, we removed the museum from our to-do list. We also warn people about this place not being 100% honest. If one day, you become 100% honest, maybe we'll come back. Otherwise, good luck with your scam.

Greifvogelstation & Wildfreigehege Hellenthal

Wildlife park
Nature & Parks
Wildlife park with farm animals & wild deer, displays of eagles & falcons, plus a Wild West village.
Lovely park with vast grounds where you can interact with animals and watch a bird of pray show. We visited in winter and enjoyed it despite the cold. The animals were out and about and we could feed them with the food bought at the park - you can but it at the ticket office and then stock up some more at vending machines throughout the park (bring coins). Also, bring clothes you don’t mind getting dirty as some animals will jump or lean on you to get food. Our kids absolutely loved it and they also enjoyed walking through the small bird enclosure and having parakeets and budgies sit on their shoes and land on their arms. There’s a playground inside, as well as a snack kiosk and outside the park you’ll find a restaurant with typical german fare (think schnitzel and fries). There’s plenty of parking (free), especially if you arrive early. But do keep in mind that most foreign credit (and debit) cards are not accepted (e.g. Visa) so bring cash.

Wow wow must go!!! Unbelievable! For all people 3 months to 120. Good to begin with the “train “ bus, that takes you around all directions to see and know where to go. First thing you have to ask when the birds show starts! Then go back and walk all the way. You can give food to the animals and go inside…. So cool. And be with them all around you. The wild birds are amazing! The “ Bambi “ so nice. You have pigs too and much more. We came with something to eat from home. Take water and good walking shoes.

Beautiful! Natural! Pure! I think it's one of the best open game enclosures in Europe. The ideal place for children, grown ups, couples, the elderly, in short for everyone. A huge parking lot outside with a nice cafe at the entrance. The tickets aren't that cheap. It costs 11€ for adults but on the other hand, it's so much worth it. For this amount you get so much in return inside. A magnificent bird show with all the best hunting birds for eg: Falcons, owls, different species of eagles and hawks, etc. You get to interact personally and feed varieties of animals like deers, boars, red deers, donkeys, lynx, sheeps, etc, etc. You can buy animal food at the counter, I think it costs 1€ per packet. It's pure nature inside with beautiful panoramas at places where mountains, river and the skies meet each other. We love this place alot and definitely recommend it to everyone. A MUST!

Such a wonderful place! As an animal freak I was in paradise. Animals are well cared for and have a lot of freedom. Baby goats stole the show though! We absolutely recommend visiting. You can spend the whole day walking around and admire birds, bors, deer and whatnots. Best part...you can handfeed them, touch them and enjoy the nature. A must visit when in Eifel.

Very interesting place to visit, especially for school classes and other group trips, and nice personal, however me and my friends waited fifteen minutes for the gastronomy to open, when they were supposed to already be open, we had to call the place for them to open the doors and the food was overpriced and tasted bad. My friends and I had waffles with cherries and cream, the cherries tasted like they were already rotten and we could not eat them so it was wasted money.

The place was both shocking (historical aspepct) and mesmerizing. The area is large, you should expect a lot of walk, but it worth. If you are looking for the exact preservation of the national socialist place, you should look elsewhere. This facility was used a lot since then, so lots of modernizations happened, but this did not take out any experience from me. The location is awesome with excellent lookout.
Károly S — Google review
Amazing historical place, although a bit difficult to apprehend without going through the museum. The museum is well thought, focusing on the background for building such a place before going through it (brief) use by the nazis and the impact on the graduates. It really shows the inefficiency of the authoritarian regime, but also the indoctrination and resulting horrors. A great place to visit on a sunny day!

Despite it being a charming village within fortress walls, the outlet stores in the city diminish the originality and authentic character. The clash between history and shopping experience was a bit too harsh for my taste. It depends on your point of view ofcourse.

Therme Euskirchen

Thermal baths
Spas & Wellness
Modern thermal spa complex with an outdoor lagoon, saunas & a pool in a palm-lined, glass atrium.
We visited Therme Euskirchen on Saturday and had an amazing time! The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing, and the combination of the pools and saunas makes for a perfect day of wellness. The property is very well-maintained, and everything feels clean and inviting. We especially enjoyed the pool area and the variety of saunas. The only downside is that the Aufguss sessions can get a bit crowded, but it’s still worth experiencing. We also ate at the restaurant and tried the Pad Thai and the pizza, both of which were delicious and reasonably priced. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and will definitely be coming back for another visit!
Anthony B — Google review
I recently spent a day at Therme Euskirchen, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The complex offers an impressive variety of saunas – from something resembling a hammam to a unique sauna where you can watch koi fish swimming gracefully behind glass, and many others to explore. Each one had its own character and atmosphere, making it a real journey through different wellness traditions. The pools are equally diverse. There’s a swim-up bar with very reasonable prices (and I was delighted to find my favorite banana weizen beer there), a saltwater pool for deep relaxation, and even a smaller pool where calming music plays underwater – a surprisingly magical touch. I felt both refreshed and completely relaxed by the end of the day. A special mention must go to the Amber Orchid restaurant inside the complex. It is truly a fine-dining experience, with excellent cuisine and a refined atmosphere. Our dinner there was a perfect finale to the day. I would particularly like to thank our waiter, Scott K., who provided impeccable service and made us feel genuinely welcome. Overall, Therme Euskirchen is a place I would highly recommend to anyone looking for relaxation, variety, and a touch of luxury – all in one spot.

It would be nice if the website clearly stated that children are not allowed on certain days. That would save people from making a pointless trip. It's understandable that children are not allowed in the sauna. But “Palm Paradise” sounds very tempting to children.

We had a great day at the Therme. Unfortunately, my cousin had an accident on the stairs near the immersive sky experience. The stairs there are a dangerous. They don’t have anti slip protection and that is why my niece slipped and fail. There are other stairs near the thermal pools and that one has slip protection. See pictures.

The four of us had a great day at the Therme Euskirchen. We would like to put special emphasis on the food at the restaurant "Amber Orchid".

Greetings to Scott from the four musketeers.

I love the therme in Euskirchen. It was my 5th time there. In the week its not too busy. They have a beautiful sauna and a huge garden. My favourite is the koi sauna. For food, swim, sauna und towels you pay a full day 100€.

I was able to see the exact price only after registering on your website. The price turned out to be almost twice as high as the one shown earlier — €76 for two tickets (one adult and one child) for 4 hours of swimming out of season (only the indoor pool). Could you please explain how your pricing is calculated? The price was very high for us, so we couldn’t visit the spa complex. The children were very disappointed.
