Top 28 things to do and attractions in Tongeren

Very nice and modern museum with lots of activities. It tells the history of the lands of modern Belgium from prehistoric times to Roman times and early Christianity.

We bought the tickets online in advance and would recommend doing so. We did appreciate the low entrance fee of 8 euros. The museum is one of the very best I have seen in many years. The building is modern and well designed. There are multiple toilets and free lockers (you do need a 1 euro coin to use them). We liked the free audioguide (in multiple languages); the many videos and the way the artifacts were organized and explained a lot. There is a way to do a fast tour if you just want the highlights; there’s the adult tour; and there’s the tour for kids. All well recognizable. One can also get a group tour with a guide. We really appreciated the lightweight portable chairs that we took with us through the entire museum. They made the visit a lot more comfortable. We expected to be in there for 90 minutes but did end up taking 3 hours and ½ and could have easily been in there longer if we hadn’t gotten hungry. The museum focuses on the history from the prehistory into the beginning of the Middle Ages, often with an extra focus on the local history. The museum really exceeded all of our expectations!

The visit to the Galo Romanian Museum was good. The building itself is awesome, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The permanent exhibits are very interesting, but the museum has only two halls just two halls and that's it. It still deserves five stars for the building and the permanent collection, but the temporary exhibition is disappointing. For an extra €5, I expected much more. I would recommend visiting for the permanent exhibit, but not for the temporary exhibition.

Really great museum, the audioguide really helps because all things are mainly in dutch or in french. It is really interactive so it would be great for kids. It takes around 3 hours to visit everything in the museum. The shop is really cheap compared to other museums. The entry is 8 for adults, 1 for kids, and 5 for students.

A smooth museum experience with thousands of artifacts on display from prehistoric to ancient times. Displays are in Dutch but audio guides were available in multiple languages. There were even free postcards given away at the end of the exhibit.

One of the friendliest museums in Belgium. The Museum of Gallo-Roman History sketches the story of mankind from prehistoric times to the fifth century AD in a beautiful permanent collection. The emphasis is on society in and around Belgium during the Roman Empire and the evolution of society under Roman rule. The collection is interesting and excellently illustrated. A quadrilingual audioguide (Dutch, English, French, German) guides you around and provides a lot of information. The plaques are also very informative and accessible. It’s a great place to visit with children as well, offering special kid’s audio explanation and games throughout the museum. It is a very impressive visitor experience. There was a very nice temporary exhibition in cooperation with the British Museum. It has a shop and cafeteria (the latter closed at the moment). The museum is housed in an impressive modern building right in the middle of beautiful Tongeren. Definitely worth a visit.

The current exhibition is a real must see with exceptional items from the vast collection of the British Museum. But the way the artefacts are presented is in itself worthwhile of your visit. A perfect audioguide and interactive panels for children makes you forget time during your flash back into ancient roman time. Top.

Beautiful, holy and unbelievable are just a few words to try to describe this work of art. Every time we come to Tongeren we are amazed with the church. Words don’t do this amazing structure justice. You can feel the presence of God here. We sat and enjoyed the time we were in side the church. How large but peaceful it makes you feel. It’s extremely clean and the people are friendly. We will be back and thank you for the wonderful experience.

It's stunning, you can see it from far. Visit Tongeren on a Sunday morning to walk the largest antiques market in Belgium, look around the oldest city of the country and its Roman wall and museum. There's also a Benienhof that survived a big fired that once consumed most of the city. There's much to see and learn and this beautiful town.

Absolutely beautiful church. Well worth going off the beaten path to see.

As you approach the city of Tongres the tower of the basilica seems to be the end stage of many roads. Couldn't visit the interior unfortunately.

Tongeren is a small town we stayed over night for the antique market and wee lucky to stumble into the basilica during a organ concert. The church is beautiful. I would love to go back for the crowning of Mary they do once every 7 years- including this heart 2016

Amazing old basilisk. Would defenitely recommend to take the archaeological tour available underneath the basilisk.

As all of the displays of grandeur by the Catholic church this basilica was magnificent, well worth a visit for us heretics too.

Easily one of the nicest museums I have ever visited. It is very well organised and presented. Very interesting for both adults and kids. The audio guide for kids is incredible. My 6 year old managed the Tower, archeological site and The Treasury with no problem!

One of the best museums in Belgium! There are two parts to the Teseum -- first is the underground archeological site and the second has religious art treasures. Both wings are extremely well curated. The audio guide is seamless. Do not miss this when visiting Tongeren. It is well worth the drive.

One of my favourite museums! The interactive experience for the kids is a blast! Totally worth it for the complete family!

A fascinating and family-friendly experience! We visited the Teseum in Tongeren and explored the archaeological site, the impressive treasury, and climbed the tower – and we were truly amazed! The exhibitions are beautifully curated, highly informative, and yet never overwhelming. The archaeological section offers a captivating journey through time, showing the deep Roman roots of Tongeren with interactive elements and clever storytelling that kept even our child engaged from start to finish. The treasury is equally impressive, showcasing stunning religious artifacts in a respectful and modern display. The climb up the tower was a highlight – the view over the historic town is absolutely worth it. The museum manages to strike a perfect balance between education and entertainment, making it suitable for both adults and kids. We had a fantastic time as a family and would highly recommend the Teseum to anyone visiting the region. It brings history to life in a way that’s both meaningful and fun!

It is a beautiful place, very well restored and it is very nice to see how much history there is behind its walls! Awesome!!!

Greatly organised museum with nice audio-guide and tons of information that can keep you occupied for hours

Highly recommend, this is a must-see for international visitors to the area. Our group is from Canada, and all of us were amazed by how incredibly well done the exhibits are --- on par if not exceeding comparable sites in Aachen and Cologne. There are two parts to the Teseum, each takes about an hour. In the basement, a beautiful tour of the archeological site has been built, with outstanding multimedia displays. Upstairs, the treasury and cloister is equally interesting.

Lovely city with a historical monument. You can park free at the sportpark De Motten right next to the city center.

Beautiful statue in a nice market place. Also worth a wile to visit the teseum which is just next to the statue.

Lovely little city with cozy city center Square. Worth a visit to dive in the history of our country

A nice statue to look at whilst taking a walk through Belgium's oldest city.

Full of meaning for the locals and the independence of Belgium. Bonus if you remember the Gallic Wars by Caesar and the Euborones

Smal but nice city.

Fun and interesting things to see and enjoy all around. Lovely and friendly people to meet. Tongeren is a gem and hope to visit again some day.

This park is really wonderful. It has plenty of open space and several lakes with ducks and fish, which makes it very charming. The grass is neatly cut, and it’s great to see that the area is clean and free of litter. All in all, it’s a very beautiful place for a walk and to enjoy some time outdoors.

Beautiful skate park, lake with boats to rent, lovely little café with friendly owner, basketball and tennis courts amd a go-kart track! Recommend for all teenager!

Lovely park. Sand area for smaller kids. Play equipment for older kids. Gazebo . Lake to see and walk around. Cafe by the lake. Skate park and tennis courts. Kiddy driving route to teach children about road safety. Free parking.

Great park. It is totally fenced in so you don't have to worry about traffic or little ones wandering off. There is an adorable little bike track painted like a real street and lots of things to do.

One if the most beautifull places in Belgium!

Great playground for children. On the territory there are 2 lakes for walking. There is also a cafe. I urgently ask all visitors not to litter and clean up after themselves and others.

Excellent skatepark with beautiful view

(Translated by Google) Beautiful beguinage in the center of Tongeren. (Original) Mooi begijnhof in het centrum van Tongeren.

(Translated by Google) St. Catherine's Church, also known as the Beguinage Church or Paterskerk, is a former church building in the Belgian city of Tongeren in the province of Limburg. The church is surrounded by Brouwersstraat, Sint-Catharinastraat, and Sint-Rosastraat. St. Catherine's Church occupies the center of the Tongeren beguinage. The basilica consists of a three-aisled nave with six bays, a one-bay choir under a slate gable roof, and a pear spire at the crossing. There are sacristies on both the north and south sides of the church. The nave and choir are the oldest parts of the church; these early Gothic sections are built of flint. The aisles, made of marlstone and with bluestone overlays, were added in the mid-14th century. Expansions and renovations were carried out in the 15th, 18th, and 20th centuries. (Original) De Sint-Catharinakerk, ook bekend als Begijnhofkerk of Paterskerk, is een voormalig kerkgebouw in de Belgische stad Tongeren in de provincie Limburg. De kerk wordt omgeven door de Brouwersstraat, de Sint-Catharinastraat en de Sint-Rosastraat. De Sint-Catharinakerk staat centraal in het begijnhof van Tongeren. Het basilicale gebouw bestaat uit een driebeukig schip met zes traveeën, een koor van één travee onder een zadeldak bedekt met leien en een peerspits op de kruising. Zowel aan de noordzijde als aan de zuidzijde van de kerk bevindt zich een sacristie. De middenbeuk en het koor vormen de oudste gedeelten van de kerk, deze vroeggotische onderdelen zijn opgetrokken in vuursteen. De zijbeuken in mergelsteen en met afzaat van hardsteen zijn toegevoegd in het midden van de 14e eeuw. Zowel in de 15e, in de 18e als in de 20e eeuw werden uitbreidingen en renovaties doorgevoerd.

(Translated by Google) Beautifully restored buildings. Kudos to the executors, owners, managers. Something like this belongs to the cultural heritage and should not be lost. And apparently that won't happen. 👍👍👍👍👍 (Original) Prachtig gerestaureerde gebouwen. Een pluim voor de uitvoerders, eigenaars, beheerders. Zoiets behoort tot het cultureel erfgoed en mag niet verloren gaan. En dat zal blijkbaar ook niet gebeuren. 👍👍👍👍👍

(Translated by Google) Old church in the beguinage of the oldest town in Belgium: Tongeren Beautiful grave monument and many old tombstones along the outside of the church. (Original) Oude kerk in het begijnhof van het oudste stadjevan België: Tongeren Mooi grafmonument en veel oude zerken langs de buitenkant van de kerk.

(Translated by Google) Worth it. Also suddenly visited the temporary exhibition. (Original) De moeite waard. Ook ineens de tijdelijke tentoonstelling bezocht.

(Translated by Google) A calm and peaceful place in a setting full of history (Original) Un lieu calme et paisible dans un decor rempli d'histoire

(Translated by Google) There are more beautiful beguinages in Flanders (Original) Er zijn in Vlaanderen mooiere begijnhoven

A museum to explain about what a beguinage is and who the beguins are?

Nice little house in the beguinage.

(Translated by Google) Nice museum, not big. Lots of information about the beguinage in Tongeren (Original) Leuk museum, niet groot. Veel info over het begijnhof in Tongeren

(Translated by Google) Very small, more collection than museum. Nice if you have time. Plan your visit well regarding the opening hours (open from 1400 hours) (Original) Erg klein, meer verzameling dan museum. Leuk als je tijd over hebt. Plan je bezoek wel goed mbt de openingstijden ( open vanaf 1400 uur)

(Translated by Google) A 17th-century Beguinage with a good video explanation (30 minutes) about the origins of Beguines, their differences from nuns, their international distribution, and how they were treated by the church and various national governments. An interesting detail: the Beguine who lived here had a maid. Scattered throughout the house are a salt chair, a collection of cartoons, and statues—not always correctly identified, but that's not too distracting. Note: your museum pass isn't valid here, and you have to climb and descend stairs to access the museum. A visit of about 60 minutes is well worth it for visitors with any interest in history. (Original) 17e eeuws begijnenhuis met goede video-uitleg (30 minuten) over het ontstaan van begijnen, het verschil met nonnen, internationale verspreiding, hoe ze door de kerk en diverse nationale regeringen behandeld werden. Interessant detail: de begijn die hier woonde had een meid. Verspreid door het huis een zoutstoel, een collectie cartoons, beelden, niet altijd correct geïdentificeerd, maar dat is niet heel storend. Kanttekeningen: je museumpas is hier niet geldig, en je moet trappen op en af om het museum te kunnen bekijken. Een bezoek van ca. 60 minuten ruimschoots waard voor bezoekers met enige interesse in geschiedenis.

(Translated by Google) I don't know whether this can be called a museum or rather an exhibition of old things (this is true. My assessment is mainly based on the way of exhibiting, which is more likely to be glass showcases where an appreciation is difficult due to the very limited surface area. (Original) Weet niet of men dit een museum kan noemwn of eerder een tentoonsteling van oude spullen (dirme wel waar zijn. Mijn beordeming is hoofdzakelijk gebaseerd op de manier van exposeren dat eerder glazen vitrines zijn waar een waardering moeilijk is wegens de zeer beperkte opervlakte.

(Translated by Google) Nice museum in the heart of Tongeren, a nice insight into how the Beguines used to live. The guide was very talkative, good and informative. Explanation of old sayings. Covering something up. Putting a stop to something had to do with spreeween pot and more of that. (Original) Leuk museum in hartje tongeren mooi in kijkje hoe de begijnen vroeger leefde. De gids was erg spraakzaam goed en informatief.uitleg over oude spreuken .iets in de doofpot stoppen .ergens een stokje voor steken had te maken met spreewenpot.en meer van dat alles.

Beautifull nature and ideal place for weekend walk. Not hard track. Lot of options for choose the lenght of the walks. Only one small part is near a road, the rest is nature 😉

This a beautiful open space with pleasurable walks. We saw a deer in one of the fields. I highly recommend this reserve for peaceful walks or bike rides.

Nice area to walk around. Multiple trails of different lengths.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful nature to discover, many walks that you can follow. Unfortunately we were full of mosquito bites, after 1 day the itching still lingers. Due to the sunny weather we of course wore shorts, but many mosquitoes continued to follow and bite us where we were. Still, we tried to make the best of it and are now dealing with the itch. (Original) Heel mooie natuur om te ontdekken, veel wandelingen die je kan volgen. We stonden helaas wel vol muggenbeten, na 1 dag blijft de jeuk nog hard nazinderen. Door het zonnige weer droegen we natuurlijk een korte broek, maar veel muggen bleven ons ter plaatse volgen en steken. Toch hebben we er het beste van proberen maken en de jeuk nemen we er nu even bij.

(Translated by Google) Superb nature reserve, several marked walks, the photos are of the red square markings (Original) Superbe reserve naturelle, plusieurs promenades balisees, les photos sont celles du balisage carré rouge

(Translated by Google) Beautiful nature reserve near the center of Tongeren. Various walks, of which we did the red one, about 8 km. Easily accessible paths, not suitable for strollers or wheelchair users due to the boardwalks. The first part, about 4 km, starts beautifully, but then you have to follow a straight road for about 2 km and we found that less successful. Maybe figure out how this boring piece could be done differently? Then you come to a few terraces on a square where you can also have some fries and then do the second half of the walk. And it is really worth it until you get back to the Kevie parking lot. (Original) Prachtig natuurgebied vlakbij het centrum van Tongeren. Verschillende wandelingen, waarvan wij de rode hebben gedaan, ongeveer 8 km. Goed begaanbare paden, niet voor kinderwagens of rolstoel gebruikers geschikt wegens de vlonderpaden. Het eerste stuk, ongeveer 4 km begint prachtig, maar dan moet je wel een ongeveer 2 km lange, recht weg volgen en dat vonden we minder geslaagd. Misschien toch eens uitstippelen hoe dit saaie stuk anders kan? Dan kom je aan een paar terrasjes op een pleintje waar je ook nog een frietje kan steken om daarna de tweede helft van de wandeling te doen. En die is dan weer echt de moeite tot je weer aan de parking van de Kevie komt.

(Translated by Google) It's quite pleasant to walk here. However, I find it a major drawback that there are also so many cyclists (far too fast). So, you can only walk carefree if you choose the paths in the woods. (Original) Het is hier vrij aangenaam wandelen. Ik ervaar het echter als een groot nadeel dat er ook heel veel fietsers (veel te snel) rijden. Je kan er dus alleen onbezorgd wandelen als je de paden in het bos opzoekt.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful town hall. This was built in the 18th century and stands on the site of the former cloth hall that was destroyed by fire a century earlier. It is currently still in use for ceremonies. (Original) Mooi stadhuis. Dit werd gebouwd in de 18de eeuw en staat op de plaats van de vroegere lakenhallen die door een brand een eeuw eerder werden verwoest. Het is momenteel nog in gebruik voor plechtigheden.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful, historic city hall. Unfortunately in a disgusting city where corruption, fraud and incompetence are the order of the day. In Tongeren, the integrity and reliability of the Belgian state are severely tarnished every day. (Original) Mooi, historisch stadhuis. Helaas in een walgelijke stad waar corruptie, fraude en incompetentie aan de orde van de dag is. In Tongeren worden de integriteit en betrouwbaarheid van de Belgische staat elke dag opnieuw ten zeerste bevlekt.

(Translated by Google) Beautifully renovated town hall. (Original) Mooi gerenoveerde stadhuis.

We had a really fun experience on the Brunch Safary. The staff was very helpful, the vehicles were in perfect condition and the food packed in our picnic "basket" was high quality and delicious.

Nice experience, very fun ride with the cars, amazing scenery. During the tour you get some explanation about the wines of the region and basic wine-knowledge, for non wine-drinkers it is still fun to enjoy the ride / scenery and local juices. We had a great guide, Rudy, we can only recommend.

Great for a teambuilding!

Teambuilding activity

(Translated by Google) We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Terroir Wijnsafari! The accommodations were very cozy and perfect for our family. Jo Fabre created a welcoming atmosphere and was very knowledgeable. The safari itself was a true experience: you drive to the wineries yourself in a golf cart, where you spend about four hours exploring the beautiful Haspengouw region. Along the way, we heard interesting stories about the four Belgian wineries who produce wine in this region – incredibly captivating and yet very relaxing. We opted for the winery tour package, but other options are also available, such as those using a Vespa or other vehicles. In short: highly recommended for anyone who loves nature, conviviality, and a touch of wine culture! 🍷✨ (Original) Wij hebben enorm genoten van onze ervaring bij Terroir Wijnsafari! De accommodatie was heel gezellig en perfect voor ons gezin. Jo Fabre zorgde voor de gezellige sfeer en de kennis. De safari zelf was een echte beleving: je rijdt zelf naar de wijnboeren met het golfkarretje waar je een viertal uurtjes onderweg bent door het prachtige Haspengouw. Onderweg kregen we interessante verhalen te horen over de vier wijnboeren in België die in deze streek wijn maken – super boeiend en tegelijk heel ontspannend. Wij kozen voor het pakket langs de wijnboeren, maar er zijn ook andere formules mogelijk, met bijvoorbeeld een Vespa of andere voertuigen. Kortom: een absolute aanrader voor wie houdt van natuur, gezelligheid en een vleugje wijncultuur! 🍷✨

(Translated by Google) A very successful activity, highly recommended for individuals, groups, or team-building activities. Dedicated guides (Marleen and Jo). Congratulations to Joppe, who is putting Haspengouw and its wine growing on the map with this initiative. (Original) Een zeer geslaagde activiteit, een echte aanrader voor zowel individueel als ook voor een groep of voor teambuilding. Gedreven gidsen (Marleen en Jo) Een dikke proficiat voor Joppe die door dit initiatief Haspengouw en de wijnbouw op kaart zet.

(Translated by Google) A fantastic experience. With a fantastic guide, Joke, who passionately and lovingly told us about the wines and the region at every stop. Our last stop was at Wilfried's... what a location, what an experience! Two brothers with a passion for brewing sparkling wines! (Original) Super leuke beleving. Met een fantastische gids Joke die ons bij elke stop met passie en liefde vertelde over de wijnen en de streek. Laatste stop bij Wilfried.... wat een locatie, wat een ervaring! 2 broers met een passie voor het brouwen van mousserende wijnen!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful beguinage. Well maintained. One of the oldest beguinages in Flanders. Is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. By chance it was completely walled. First it was located outside the center (13th century) and later the city wall was expanded. (Original) Mooi begijnhof. Goed onderhouden. Een van de oudste begijnhoven in Vlaanderen. Staat op de werelderfgoedlijst van Unesco. Door toeval werd het volledig ommuurd. Eerst lag het buiten het centrum (13de eeuw) en later werd de stadsmuur uitgebreid.

Well-preserved medieval city gate in a beautiful old city. Don't miss it if you come to Tongeren!

Part of the medieval fortification wall built in 14th C CE.

great bulky door that reminds the fortification walls of the city. still in use, not freshly renovated but decent

So beautyfull old town Tongeren!! Love the antique market on Sunday..😃

Visit Tongeren, oldest city of Flanders.

Nice town- good beers- enjoyed the time

Copy off original

(Translated by Google) A modern reconstruction of an ancient Gallo-Roman temple complex. In the past it was an imposing temple with galleries and outbuildings. Beautifully explained, restored and depicted. Parts of the old Roman city walls have still been preserved, these are located at the bottom of the road, near the stairs to the temple complex. (Original) Een moderne reconstructie van een oud Gallo-Romeins tempelcomplex. In het verleden een inmposante tempel met galerijen en bijgebouwennu. Fraai toegelicht, hersteld en uitgebeeld. Van de oude Romeinse stadsomwallingen zijn nog delen bewaard gebleven, deze zijn onderaan de weg gelegen, bij de trap naar het tempelcomplex toe.

(Translated by Google) Place I had never been before. A modern temple built on the spot where once stood a temple dedicated to Jupiter. (Original) Plekje waar ik nog nooit geweest was. Een moderne tempel gebouwd op de plek waar ooit een tempel gestaan heeft gewijd aan Jupiter.

(Translated by Google) Impression of what an ancient Roman temple would have looked like. I expected more from it. Would have been nice if they had actually made one... . (Original) Impressie van hoe een oud.romeinse tempel er uit zou hebben gezien. Ik had er meer van verwacht. Was mooi geweest als ze echt een hadden na gemaakt.. .

(Translated by Google) Very surprising to find this at this location. Very nice location, very interesting information about this piece of history. With the Helios app you can do the Per Pedes walk along fascinating places in Tongeren. These are displayed in 3D as they used to be. (Original) Heel verrassend om dit op deze locatie aan te treffen. Zeer mooie locatie, bijzonder interessante informatie over dit stukje geschiedenis. Met de Helios-app kun je de Per Pedes wandeling doen langsheen boeiende plekken in Tongeren.

(Translated by Google) Very well restored ruins of a temple complex, dedicated to the supreme god Jupiter, from the first century AD. It has a special atmosphere and still breathes the spirit of Roman culture. There is a sacrificial altar and the entrance wall has the entire historical background. A beautiful piece of Gallo-Roman history that has been preserved. (Original) Zeer goed gerestaureerde ruïne van een tempelcomplex, gewijd aan de oppergod Jupiter, uit de eerste eeuw na Christus. Het heeft een apparte sfeer en ademt nog de tijdsgeest van de Romeinse cultuur. Er staat een offeraltaar en de inkommuur is voorzien van de ganse historische achtergrond. Een mooi stukje Gallo-Romeinse geschiedenis dat bewaard is gebleven.

(Translated by Google) Although it is only a concrete cast of a small part of the temple, we still thought it was worth passing by. You will then get a better idea of ​​the size of such a temple. There are also information boards hanging up that our children (7 years old and 10 years old) managed to fascinate. (Original) Hoewel het slechts een betonnen afgietsel is van een klein deel van de tempel vonden we het toch de moeite om eens te passeren. Je krijgt dan een beter beeld van de grootte van zo een tempel. Er hangen ook infoborden omhoog die onze kinderen (7j en 10j) wisten te boeien.

(Translated by Google) Clearly renovated town hall. Negative points: a counter employee in busy times causes a long queue, the walkways are very narrow, making it difficult to walk up and down comfortably. Prober property and wheelchair friendly (Original) Overzichtelijk gerenoveerd gemeente huis. Minpunten een balie medewerker in drukte zorgt dat voor lange wachtrij, de loopbruggen zijn erg smal waardoor je niet op gemak op en af loopt. Prober pand en rolstoelvriendelijk

(Translated by Google) Good day everyone, I have had very good experience in this town hall for years, very friendly people who are willing to help you immediately, even find a solution if there is an obstacle, documents are ready quickly and it is a beautiful building surrounded by many other beautiful, admirable things plus it is in the city, you can always enjoy it if you have time, definitely recommended M.V.G Raja (Original) Goeindag iedereen, in deze gemeentenhuis heb ik Al jaren heel goed ervaring zeer vriendelijk mensen wie bereid zijn om u meteen te helpen zoeken zelfs een oplossing als er een hindernis is documenten zijn snel klaar en het is een prachtig gebouw omsingled door andere veel mooie bewonderbare dingen plus het is in stad kan je altijd even gaan genieten als je tijd zou hebben zeker en vast een aanrader M.V.G Raja

(Translated by Google) Unfriendly and downright not suitable for their work... they rather belong on a farm, commit forgery... but I have evidence to the contrary. They should really be ashamed of still behaving like this in 2023. Scandalous (Original) Onvriendelijk en ronduit niet geschikt voor hun werk...horen eerder op een boerderij , valsheid in geschrifte plegen...maar ik heb tegenbewijs. Zouden zich moeten schamen echt in 2023 nog zo gedrag. Schandalig

(Translated by Google) Very unfriendly, stressed employees who do not keep their appointments. It is therefore not surprising that fraud, corruption and incompetence manage Tongeren. As a decent citizen you are not heard. (Original) Zeer onvriendelijke gestresseerde medewerkers die hun afspraken niet nakomen. Dat fraude, corruptie en incompetentie Tongeren beheren is daarom niet vreemd. Als fatsoenlijke burger wordt je niet gehoord.

(Translated by Google) The reception was very polite, but unfortunately the staff on the second floor was very rude. They showed little respect and that made my experience there less pleasant. (Original) Het onthaal was heel beleefd, maar het personeel op de tweede verdieping was helaas erg onbeleefd. Ze toonden weinig respect en dat maakte mijn ervaring daar minder prettig.

(Translated by Google) Tongeren is committed to transparency. The building already radiates this 😉 (Original) Tongeren gaat volop voor transparantie. Het gebouw straalt dit alvast uit 😉

(Translated by Google) Super friendly staff (Original) Super vriendelijk personeel

(Translated by Google) Nice company, just a bit too short a tour. And it was a good thing that someone from the company was with the guide from the City of Tongeren-Borgloon, because this guide was not good, despite the fact that it had come to schools a week earlier. About the company itself, no problem. Visiting the company is highly recommended. (Original) Mooi bedrijf, alleen een wat te korte rondleiding. En maar goed dat er iemand van het bedrijf bij de gids van de Stad Tongeren-Borgloon was, want deze gids was niet goed, ondanks, dat deze een week eerder nog was komen bij scholen. Over het bedrijf zelf, geen probleem. Bedrijf bezoeken is een aanrader.

(Translated by Google) Gorgeous !! (Original) Magnifique !!

Lovely small town, pleasant to walk and shop, galo roman museum is worth a visit too. Tourist walks available for kids and adults, easy to follow information and interesting reads on the way. You can visit the only remaining tower for free with a code from the tourist office. With covid, time slot should be booked in advance. The brasseries are closed now but you can find coffee shops and some delicious donuts :-).

Beautiful city 😊 Kinda super calm vibes

A former chapel beautifully converted into a modern tourism office. Friendly and helpful staff. I particularly like the selection of local products on sale, which are difficult to find elsewhere.

Awesome!!!! Very friendly and helpful personal. Maps and Information about Tongeren and it surroundings

Good place with big portions

Lovely market

Worth a quick visit. The reconstructed temple gives an idea about the size and basic looks of the Roman temple that once stood here. There's also information provided on signs around the temple. The more interesting part however are the remains of the Roman city wall, which can be reached by following the path to the Cesarlaan.

Fake

(Translated by Google) A bitter disappointment for me. Nice idea, implemented without any real enthusiasm. Poorly maintained concrete partial replica with no significant authenticity or real historical value. (Original) Für mich eine herbe Enttäuschung. Nette Idee, ohne echte Begeisterung umgesetzt. Schlecht gepflegter Beton-Teilnachbau ohne nennenswerte Authentizität oder echten historischen Wert.

(Translated by Google) It is educational and should definitely be seen. (Original) Het is leerrijk, moet zeker eens gezien hebben.

(Translated by Google) Simple, but nice site that gives a superficial idea of ​​what the temple site looked like. (Original) Eenvoudige, maar leuke site die een oppervlakkig beeld geeft van hoe de tempelsite er uitgezien heeft.

(Translated by Google) Fun to see and learn! (Original) Leuk om te zien en te leren!

Interesting the Live or Die session😂😄 We got free at 5min before the end.

Great place. Everything you need and very close to town. The proprietors could not have been more helpful

(Translated by Google) We did The Beach with 6 (ages 11 to 47). It wasn't easy to escape, but we succeeded thanks to the hints! Nicely set up room with surprising riddles and you have to think logically. The house where the 2 rooms are is being completely renovated. This way it looks like it's not open. Recommended for the whole family or mixed group of different ages. (Original) We deden The Beach met 6 (11j tot 47jarigen). Het was niet gemakkelijk om te ontsnappen maar wel gelukt door de hints! Leuk opgezette room met verrassende raadsels en je moet goed logisch nadenken. Het huis waar de 2 rooms zijn is in volle verbouwing. Zo lijkt het alsof het niet open is. Aanrader voor het hele gezin of gemengde groep van verschillende leeftijden.

(Translated by Google) A really fun escape room. We did it live with 3 adults and 2 children, and it was really fun for our first time. (Original) Heel leuke escape room. Wij hebben live of die gedaan met 3 volwassenen en 2 kinderen was echt leuk voor onze eerste keer.

(Translated by Google) Wow, a really great escape room (live or die)! One of the best I've ever done. Ingeniously put together with many electrical/automatic mechanisms (so more than the classic 'find the padlock code'). Also really exciting because sometimes you make mistakes. Fantastic experience that I can highly recommend to everyone! Thanks to the few hints we received via live TV, we got out of the escape room just in time, and we were left with a very satisfied feeling. (Original) Wauw, echt een top escaperoom (live or die)! Een van de beste die ik al deed. Ingenieus in elkaar gezet met veel elektrische/automatische mechanismen (dus meer dan het klassieke 'zoek de code van het hangslot'). Ook echt heel spannend omdat je soms verschiet. Fantastische ervaring die ik iedereen enorm kan aanraden! Door de enkele hints die we via een live tv kregen, zijn we net op tijd uit de escape room geraakt, we hielden er een heel voldaan gevoel aan over.

(Translated by Google) Very fun and original puzzles. We played both rooms (the beach and live or die), and thought they were both great. Beautiful decoration and nice story. The puzzles are a good variation between doing and thinking. Definitely worth going to Tongeren! (Original) Zeer leuke en originele puzzels. We speelden beide kamers (the beach en live or die), en vonden ze alle 2 toppers. Mooie aankleding en leuk verhaal. De puzzels zijn een goede afwisseling tussen doen en denken. Zeker de moeite om eens voor naar Tongeren te gaan!

(Translated by Google) It was a sunny day and that's why I sat on the terrace. When I looked at the menu, I noticed that you can get trippel Karmeliet on tap here for €4.40. I grabbed that opportunity with both lips. After half an hour I got hungry and ate meatballs in tomato sauce with fries. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised. The portion was just right for a lunch and was simple but tasty. No 'Haute Cuisine', but good everyday food. I really enjoyed my lunch at a second Karmeliet. The prices are good for the quality and quantity delivered. Highly recommended! (Original) Het was een zonnige dag en daarom zette ik mij op het terras. Toen ik de kaart bekeek, merkte ik op dat je hier trippel Karmeliet van het vat kan krijgen aan €4,40. Die kans heb ik met beide lippen aangegrepen. Na een halfuurtje kreeg ik honger en heb ik balletjes in tomatensaus met frieten gegeten. Eerlijk gezegd, ik werd aangenaam verrast. De portie was juist goed voor een lunch en is eenvoudig maar lekker. Geen 'Haute Cuisine', maar goede dagdagelijkse kost. Bij een tweede Karmeliet heb ik echt van mijn luch genoten. De prijzen zijn goed voor de geleverde kwaliteit en hoeveelheid. Een aanrader dus!

(Translated by Google) Super cozy location to spend an afternoon/evening. Ideal for families with children because the terrace is next to a nice playground. The food was very tasty and not expensive at all. We will definitely go back! (Original) Super gezellige locatie om een namiddag/avond te vertoeven. Ideaal voor gezinnen met kindjes want het terras ligt naast een leuke speeltuin. Het eten was heel lekker en helemaal niet duur. Wij gaan zeker nog eens terug!

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, very limited choice during our visit. The Chicken Salad included in the menu will be served from April, if the weather remains good. As this is not specified, the person with gluten intolerance had to settle for a plate of fries. Very pleasant table service, as well as the place and the atmosphere. (Original) Malheureusement, choix très limité lors de notre passage. La Salade au poulet reprise dans le menu sera servie à partir d'avril, si la météo reste belle. Comme cela n'est pas précisé, la personne intolérante au gluten a dû se contenter d'un plat de frites. Service à table très agréable, de même que l'endroit et l'ambiance.

(Translated by Google) The waterfront is one of the nicest places to sit in Tongeren. Holiday feeling. Small, simple but correct kitchen. (Original) De waterkant is één van de leukste plekken om te zitten in Tongeren. Vakantie gevoel. Kleine , simpele maar correcte keuken.

(Translated by Google) For a small brasserie... It's really nice... The prices are interesting and the quantities for the dishes are not excessive, The staff is welcoming, smiling and bilingual... I speak FR and I do my best in NL, but hey I'm not perfect at all. But here it is not a problem, the linguistic problems specific to Belgium do not exist. This place is a real pleasure to relax... To try. April 2025: New season, New menu and unfortunately new increased prices. These are especially the dishes whose price has increased by 3 to 4 euros... The quality, quantity, price ratio is now normal to expensive like elsewhere... Too bad... (Original) Pour une petite brasserie... C'est vraiment sympa... Les prix sont intéressants et les quantités pour les plats ne sont pas démesurées, Le personnel est accueillant, souriant et bilingue... Je parle FR et je fais mon possible en NL, mais bon je ne suis pas du tout parfait. Mais ici ce n'est pas un problème, les problèmes linguistiques propres à la Belgique n'existe pas. Ce lieu est un vrai plaisir de détente... A essayer. Avril 2025 : Nouvelle saison, Nouvelle carte et hélas nouveaux tarifs à la hausse. Ce sont surtout les plats dont le prix a augmenté de 3 à 4 euros... Le rapport qualité, quantité, prix est désormais normal à cher comme ailleurs... Dommage...

(Translated by Google) Great place, view of the playground or the water. Really very nice. (Original) Super endroit, vue sur la pleine de jeux ou bien sur l'eau. Vraiment très agréable.

Cool

(Translated by Google) Been there for the 1st time and didn't know what to think. It is nice and fun to visit the horses briefly and see how they are prepared for the competition and care after the competition. (Original) Voor de 1ste x daar geweest en wist niet wat ik ervan moest denken. Wel fijn en leuk om kort bij de paarden te gaan en hoe ze klaar gemaakt worden voor de wedstrijd en verzorging na de wedstrijd.

(Translated by Google) Simply nice grandstand with food and drink, friendly and helpful staff, simply cozy and familiar (Original) Einfach nett Tribüne mit Essen und Trinken freundlichem und hilfsbereiten Personal einfach gemütlich und familiär

(Translated by Google) A first for me on a racetrack. And I really liked it. The atmosphere is friendly and cosmopolitan and you can have fun playing reasonably, adding spice to the races. (Original) Une première pour moi sur un hippodrome. Et ma foi cela m'a plu. L'ambiance est conviviale et cosmopolite et on peut s'amuser à jouer raisonnablement donnant du piment aux courses.

(Translated by Google) Entrance fee is not required for people who just come to watch one run and have a drink. This prevents family and friends from coming to see your horse. (Original) Inkom geld is niet nodig voor mensen die maar één ren komen kijken en iets te drinken. Dat houdt familie en vrienden tegen om naar uw paardje komen te kijken.

(Translated by Google) Entrance a bit too expensive for the outdated race track. Always nice to see! (Original) Inkom iets te duur voor de verouderde racebaan. Wel altijd leuk om te zien!

(Translated by Google) Very nice afternoon, nice atmosphere. Friendly, family-friendly, to do during the holidays (Original) Très bel après midi , ambiance sympa. Convivial, familial, à faire pendant les vacances
