Mons, Belgium skyline: the 34 most iconic buildings and best views in Mons

Worth to visit definitely! Private collection in three rooms, plan at least 1h30 to visit. You will guided by pleasant host who can tell everything about each piece of art! And of course you will meet baron itself, wish him health!

The Francois Duesberg, is a fantastic museum dedicated to 18th and 19th century decorative arts, with a fine collection of clocks, sculptures and porcelain, ceramics, pottery and jewellery. Some of the most outstanding pieces include rare ornamental clocks from Napoleonic times, fantastic collection of cameos, Neoclassical inspired sculptures, and lots more beautiful things to see. Inside, it’s almost like a palace that even without all the exhibits would be fit for a king to stay in. Myself and several other had to wait 45 minutes over the advertised opening time before being let in, which was a little annoying. The place was opened by an elderly gentleman, I think the owner of the museum. The dude is quite eccentric, tells us no photos, but taking photos seem to be fine if they include him. Normally, I’d deduct a star for this kind of thing, but the museum is awesome.

One of the top places to visit at Mons if you like museums, history and art collections. Impressive!

Fantastic. I walked around smiling due to all the beauty. Especially the clocks decorated with dogs.

Amazing Museum! Furniture and mantel clock from French Empire Time. You have to book the visit. Mons is a lovely historic place.

Extraordinary collection of clocks. Don't miss it!

5 stars if you're a fan of period statuary and clocks. Amazing collection, with stories behind many of the pieces.

Very informative and interesting. Runs along a time line from the 18th century but is mostly WW1 and WW2. Well worth watching the documentary in the room on the right past the ticket office. This explains a lot about the Belgian resistance. The low lighting, probably to protect the exhibits, does make some plaques difficult to read. Easy enough to spend 3 hours reading. Toilets clean. Friendly staff.

Interesting museum of local war history. Museum is well laid out and presented very well Take in the video at the start. I usually bypass these but glad I watched this one as it led me on an extended tour of the area. After viewing I decided I had to visit the grave of Marguerite Bervoets a local hero. Interred in the nearby cemetery Cimeterie de Mons where I paid my respects.😔 Staff in the museum were very helpful. Small gift shop with souvenirs and restrooms downstairs

Extremely interesting war museum that focuses on Mons, but gives a lot of more general insights generally on the two world wars. When we visited they had a very nice temporary exhibition on rumours and war propaganda (the famous story of St George the angels at the battle of Mons).

I went to the museum with a work group and we were taken on a guided tour, the exhibits were good and the tour guide was very knowledgeable. I would recommend the museum to anyone who is interested in finding out about the military history of the area.

Good exhibition, friendly staff

Lots of collections but really poor presentations...dark with small font... Is it a good idea to place the display boards in these ways?! It's not a art museum.

A brilliant and m9ving 0kace to visit. As a British tourist, getting stories from the point of view of resistance fighters and the occupation really stands out. Heartily recommended as a visit.

No way to see outside in. Clear way weil the windows are very dirty & 9€ is to much for seeing nothing ! Just seeing the facade is better 👍

Obviously tickets couldn't be bought from the Belfry itself so we had to walk a little way and buy the ticket, written out by hand, from the UNESCO house and then walk up the winding path to the castle park and enter that way. Once inside you take the lift to the fifth floor and then climb a further three floors on a metal staircase to see the clock operating mechanism. And that's it, no balcony to see the views. Climbing down one floor you can look through windows to see a panorama of the city but they were so filthy it spoiled the experience. I walked a circuit of the small castle park and then we walked back through the town.

A central feature of Mons and well worth a visit. There is an elevator you can get a card for if walking the stairs is too much for you. The bells at the top are visible through a plexiglass screen, with limited space but fit fun to see and hear, each 15 minutes it plays a tune

It's the main landmark in the city of Mons. Towering above everywhere its good to orient yourself to. I didn't go inside but you dont really need to. Its impressive most from the distance or some side streets.

I enjoyed to see the town from the top of this magnificient old tower

Very nice experience. The elevator takes you to the 5th floor, then 2 more staircases to the carillon. Descending is all by staircase and the last one is the tightest. People with disabilities and take the elevator down again by request. Beautiful views, well restored and maintained bellfroi. The grounds are also nice to stroll.

Panorama with glasses,it’s a regret;it’s not easy to find the entrance;the staffs are polite

Fun to visit. A lot of reading, but interesting building and interesting concept. But if you are in Mons, would be a shame to skip it. It's a remnant of a few people with big ideas that wanted to index almost all the literature that existed at that time.

Great museum. Well mantained and well manged. I learned a lot. It brought me to the past through the collection.

The Mundaneum is an enormous index card system created by Paul Otlet in the early 20th century. He tried to catalogue and summarize all the human knowledge. And the only tools available to him were cards and cabinets. Each piece of information, eg a journal article or a book, is summarized on one index card. And three copies of this same card are stored in three pigeonholes — variously sorted according to names and theme, for example. The public could write a letter to “search for” a topic by a certain author. And the information on the “retrieved” cards are sent back to them in a letter. This small museum now houses three floors of cabinets containing his cards. At the entrance, an interactive device shows how his system worked.

Interesting to learn about the google-avant-la-lettre

You immediately understand why this is part of UNESCO heritage. It's simply beautiful and impressive. Don't forget to use the screen on your left-hand side as you've entered. It gives you a clear explanation of the classification system they use on all of the information cards.

Fascinating early 20th century attempt to capture all human knowledge by two humanists (Henri de la Fontaine - Nobel Peace prize winner & co-founder of the League of Nations - and Paul Otlet, an imaginative visual thinker who foresaw the internet & Zoom and developed a universal classification system. Like an early search engine before computrs existed. Exhibition housed in an old Art Deco department store, only a short walk from the Mons Grand Place. Go!

Just down the street from the Grand-Place is the Mundaneum museum. It documents how a group of researchers wanted to keep a record of all written knowledge... by writing out library card catalog entries for each book! A reminder of times before Google was available!

It’s very small but I think if you like Van Gogh and if you’re near to the city, you should go. There’s some books that he read and some drawings that he did.

If you are a Van Gogh fan like me, then you will be interested in visiting this museum. There are only two exhibition halls and a few graphic arts by Van Gogh. There is also a hall where they show a thematic film. Souvenir shop with not much choice. The area around is well maintained and it's a pleasure to spend time here. There is a bus stop not far away.

A small museum of the house where the famous painter spent a few years of his life. If you find yourself in the city of Mons, it's worth it to pay a visit to this museum.

It's a simple house but they made it a nice experience. The movie is a bit long but it helps so much to understand how his life in Belgium was and to understand him better and hour his life in Belgium really affected the outcome of his work. People were very friendly and I was lucky to go on a event day so the entrance was free but it's very cheap anyway. If you're around Mons, take a trip to it. Dive in his past and experience an old time Belgium... The VR experience they had for the event was very simple but lovely and fun. Well done Belgium and specially mons that is always creating gets experiences.

The home, turned museum, is part of the larger Van Gogh trail, running between Belgium and the Netherlands. They do an excellent job of connecting the house to his story and the impacts the area made on his life.

This is a small museum & visitor center with no original works, but telling the story of a small yet essential part of VvG's journey. Warmly recommended in combination of some of the nearby sites such as Grand Hornu, Le Pass in Frameries, the BAM in Mons, ...

We really enjoyed it. Beautiful day with a quick stop and no one else around. A very neat look into a small portion of Van Gogh’s life and career.

We have been there to see Rodin’s Exhibition. Rodin’s works are very well oriented. His works are very impressive and details on human body statues are perfect. We suggest you to walk the Mons centre by 100 mt walk and drink something in very cosy old city center.

A very disappointing museum at least when I was there. The building is an interesting mix of modern and existing old. The art was none existent. Maybe I missed the point. The staff were very pleasant and told us about other places to visit.

So beautiful!! Absolutely worth seeing. My favorite thing we've done in Mons easily. Thank you to the staff for being so welcoming and helpful as well. I was blown away by some of the pieces- pictures can't do it justice, you've gotta go see it for yourself.

Perfect! Family friendly and kind welcoming! Little price (3€/person) and an amazing service. We came with a toddler and a 3 weeks old baby: the staff was so nice all along, we had a staff showing us the way and showing us the way for our stroller, they gave us access to a private room for breastfeeding ( that was also convenient for my toddler to play while waiting), the lockers are huge and free and the museum had interactive activities such as a game on the phone with QR codes that kept our toddler busy and a little escape game at the end of the exhibition. Thank you, BAM, for letting families have access to museums, to introduce art to kids and to allow parents to not have to give up on museums for a decade.

Great museum splendid set up in a beautiful provincial city. Worth to plan a day's visit to Mons. Presently an excellent exhibition of de Chirico ans his influence on the Belgian surrealists. A must to visit.

Not my type of collection today when I visited. Museum itself looks nice. Very accessible for anyone. Friendly staff at the entrence. And lots of things in Dutch, English and French. Below two fotos so you can see if the current collection fits you.

If you appreciate modern conceptual art you"ll like the place. It's worth to read the descriptions and guidelines to get the most out of your visit, The staff is very polite and friendly.

Dating back to around 4000 BC, these flint mines are among the oldest in Europe and showcase the advanced techniques used by Neolithic people to extract stone for tools. The underground galleries and open pits reveal the scale and complexity of their work Learned a lot about the mines. We didn’t go down because u need to book but it is a very small area to go anyways.

6000 years ago Neolithic age humans mined Flintstones at this site during the Stone Age . Probably the first thing mined by human beings. An important part of human history. Very few such sites exist in the world so definitely worth a visit. Booking needs to be done beforehand if you want to go down the cave. It seems a bit deep but the crew ensures full safety. The whole tour takes more than an hour with around 20 min in the cave.

Amazing site, one of only 4 publicly open flint mines in the world. To buy tickets in advance you have to call them directly, since there is no option on their website. I would highly recommend this visit, for adults and children alike!

Got a visit by chance: better booking, limited access, it worth to have the deep vidit to the cave!

(Translated by Google) A little-known place that should be busier. Excellent welcome. Price €10 with visit to the flint mine accompanied by a guide. To visit the mine, you must register in advance. (Original) Un endroit peu connu qui devrait être plus fréquenté. Excellent accueil. Prix 10€ avec visite de la mine de silex accompagné d'un guide. Pour la visite de la mine, il faut s'inscrire avant.

(Translated by Google) Passed by 2 a little by chance on a Sunday mid-afternoon, without booking a guide. Few indications to find the place, we find ourselves in the middle of nowhere, only a few km from Mons. The place is superb and green. Without a guide, few things to see, a few explanatory panels outside and inside, and that's about it. On the other hand, the place is a starting point for magnificent walks, including a Ravel. It's calm, flowery and relaxing. (Original) Passés à 2 un peu par hasard un dimanche milieu d'après midi, sans réservation de guide. Peu d'indications pour trouver l'endroit, on se trouve un peu au milieu de nulle part, à quelques kms de Mons seulement. L'endroit est superbe et verdoyant. Sans guide, peu de choses à voir, quelques panneaux explicatifs à l'extérieur comme à l'intérieur, et c'est à peu près tout. Par contre le lieu est un point de départ pour de magnifiques balades, dont un Ravel. C'est calme, fleuri et reposant.

(Translated by Google) By reservation, you can take a guided tour of the Neolithic mines beneath the building. The tunnels are only a few meters long, but here you can see where the flints were mined in the Neolithic period and where the archaeologists made the discoveries upstairs in the museum. During the tour, you can also learn much more about the excavations than what's on display in the museum. (Original) Mit Reservierung gibt es eine Führung durch die neolithischen Mienen unter dem Gebäude. Die Gänge sind nur wenige Meter lang - aber hier kann man sehen, wo die Feuersteine im Neolithikum abgebaut wurden und die ArchäologInnen die Funde oben im Museum gemacht haben. Auch kann man während der Führung noch ein Vielfaches mehr über die Ausgrabungen erfahren, als im Museum ausgestellt ist.

Fantastic place. Disappointing that they didn't keep a "permanent exhibition" or something like that. The complete museum was dismantled. The temporary exhibition was very nice though...

We were impressed by the combination of various attractions on same site (exhibition in MAC's museum, supernatural design exhibition, world heritage building/site and Rizom restaurant). Fascinating site, do make sure to explore it entirely (without any rush) and do wander around (especially on a sunny day). Story of the site itself is unique (factory owner offered school education to kids below 12 years around 1820) almost 100years before Belgian government introduced this principle. Informative 10' movie on site neatly tells the whole story.

The building of coal mine is quite interesting. There are also some picturesque ruins and some staff from the former mine on the territory around. The art they exhibit there is far from my understanding, but may be some people like such kind of art. The one thing which I didn't like was that one of the museum exhibition hall supervisor was behaving strange and was completely impolite. That was really not pleasant. And on the contrary the girl at the entrance desk was very polite and understanding.

What an amazing space, so tastefully restored! The contemporary art exhibition wasn't great, the curators need to rethink it and show the work of Bernd and Hilla Becher, for example, instead of chasing the poorly made contemporary stuff. We did enjoy the live Sunday concert though, the bookshop was great, the live goats, the wild meadow field and the lunch at Rezom, it was simply superb.

Interesting historical place for weekend trip, parking right in front doors, wc almost everywhere, adequate fee, English speaking personnel, English guides avail, not crowded, design and art exhibitions inside, even some parts interesting for kids

The art gallery of gran hornu has a really big place. Its like an ex of castile, the architecture are sooo nice. Its really cold when you came on auntumn outside the building. This is a great place to have an art exhibition. They have so many rooms for any kind of exhibition, like painting or instalation art. Its a good view on autumn tho

Interesting site. Has been converted to an art gallery with an admission fee. But you can still walk the grounds of this old mining site (although nothing of the actual mines is still visible) for free. The 2 euro audioguide is well worth the money. Loved the storytelling!

Really cool exposition about the invisible

Small and nice museum with interesting video clips. Staff are friendly and helpful.

(Translated by Google) Very pleasant welcome, the museum staff explains very well the progress of the museum and the concepts (the infinitely large and the infinitely small). As a bonus, visit the crypt to learn more about the history of the place (why a museum in a chapel). (Original) Accueil très agréable, le personnel du musée explique très bien le cheminement du musée et les concepts (l'infiniment grand et l'infiniment petit). En bonus la visite de la crypte pour en apprendre plus sur l'histoire du lieu (pourquoi un musée dans une chapelle).

The visit was fine and short.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful restoration of an ancient place filled with Memories. Museum with beautiful themes. Top guide. And a very beautiful library, a must. Access to the upper floor by elevator or footbridge with a beautiful view of the building. (Original) Une très belle restauration d'un lieu ancien rempli de Mémoires. Musée avec de beaux thèmes. Guide au top. Et une très belle bibliothèque, un must. Accès à l'étage par ascenseur ou passerelle avec une très belle vue de l'édifice.

(Translated by Google) How disinterested can young counter staff be while performing their duties? A knowledge of Dutch, however limited, would be a credit to them. Even the exhibition only in French will be passé by 2025. (Original) Hoe ongeïnteresseerd kunnen jonge baliemedewerkers zijn tijdens het uitoefenen van een job? Kennis van het nederlands, hoe beperkt ook, zou hen sieren… Ook de tentoonstelling enkel in het frans is in 2025 “passé”.

(Translated by Google) I visited this place for the Freemasonry exhibition. I learned many things and many lies were debunked. Very beautiful buildings, it is also possible to visit the Bernardine crypt. (Original) J'ai visité ce lieu pour l'exposition sur la franc-maçonnerie. J'ai appris de nombreuses choses et beaucoup de mensonges ont été démystifiés. Très beaux bâtiments, il est également possible de visiter la crypte des bernardines.

Closed at the weekend & didn’t see it inside but the building facade & the underpass is very beautiful 👍

Town hall gothic style

Bel architecture

(Translated by Google) Just as impressive as Brussels. Less bombastic, but as a site all the more accessible. Be sure to go to the courtyard via the 'tunnel' and look for Rodin's bronze sculpture group. There is also a shortcut to the Doudou museum. And don't forget to greet the monkey. Wonderfully quiet place, away from the hustle and bustle. (Original) Even imposant als Brussel. Minder bombastisch maar als site des te toegankelijker. Ga zeker via de 'tunnel' naar de binnentuin en zoek de bronzen beeldengroep van Rodin. Er is ook een doorsteek naar het Doudou museum. En vergeet het aapje niet te groeten. Heerlijk rustige plek, weg van de drukte.

(Translated by Google) The town hall of Mons was built between 1458 and 1477 in Gothic style. It has only one floor and is striking for its - in 1717 / 1718 - added bell tower. On the front is ''the monkey of Mons'' which, according to legend, brings good luck. The town hall has various rooms; The wedding hall (Salle des Mariages) with its Italian-style ceiling (1682); The committee room (Salle des Commissions) with its chimney made of Rance marble; The bag room (Salle des Sacquiaux) with its impressive fireplace from the 16th century; The portrait room (Salle des Portraits) and the large rooms (Les Grands Salons). The mayor's state office (Cabinet d' Apparat) is one of the oldest parts of the building and dates from the 15th century. The Salle des Sacquiaux comes from the local dialect in which ''sacquiaux'' is a word for ''little pouches''. Originally this was the hall for the guards, where the city keys were kept in leather pouches. The town hall can only be visited after a prior reservation and only accompanied by an official guide. Inquire at the tourism office. (Original) Het stadhuis van Mons werd tussen 1458 en 1477 gebouwd in gotische stijl. Het heeft slechts één verdieping en is opvallend door zijn - in 1717 / 1718 - toegevoegde klokkentorentje. Aan de voorzijde staat '' het aapje van Mons '' dat volgens de legende geluk brengt. Het stadhuis beschikt over diverse zalen ; De trouwzaal ( Salle des Mariages ) met zijn zoldering in Italiaanse stijl (1682 ) ; De commissiezaal ( Salle des Commissions ) met zijn schoorsteen van marmer uit Rance ; De buidelzaal ( Salle des Sacquiaux ) met zijn indrukwekkende open haardvuur uit de 16de-eeuw ; De portrettenkamer ( Salle des Portraits ) en de grote kamers ( Les Grands Salons ). De staatsiewerkkamer van de burgemeester ( Cabinet d' Apparat ) is één van de oudste delen van het gebouw en dateert uit de 15de-eeuw. De Salle des Sacquiaux komt uit het plaatselijk dialect waarin ''sacquiaux '' een woord is voor '' kleine buidels '' . Oorspronkelijk was dit de zaal voor de wachters , waar de stadssleutels in lederen buidels bewaard werden. Het stadhuis is alleen te bezichtigen na een voorafgaande reservering en uitsluitend onder begeleiding van een officiële gids. Inlichtingen bij het bureau voor toerisme.

(Translated by Google) A historical monument located in the central city square. Its walls exude historical depth. There is a theater nearby. As well as a large number of different cafes where you can have a snack and relax. There are also a huge number of shops nearby. (Original) Исторический памятник, расположенный на центральной городской площади. От его стен так и веет исторической глубиной. Рядом расположен театр. А также большое количество различных кафе, в которых можно перекусить и отдохнуть. Ещё рядом есть огромное количество магазинов.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful building from the 15th century. There are two special features of the building: the small park behind the building with the fountain (walk through the door, through the tunnel and then you arrive at the park) and the little Bergen monkey at the front of the building. (Original) Een zeer mooi gebouw uit de 15de eeuw. Er zijn twee bijzonderheden aan het gebouw: het parkje achter het gebouw met het fontein (door de deur lopen, de tunnel door en dan kom je aan het parkje) en het kleine aapje van Bergen aan de voorkant van het gebouw.

Impressive piece of civil engineering with views over the canal below. Viewing platform and tour available. I think you may need to be lucky to see the lift in action as it depends on canal boats turning up. Nonetheless, the boat lift dominates its surroundings.

The lift is a beautiful site with its majestic piece of engineering and its beautiful landscaped surroundings. The issue is that the road going around the lift is used by racing motorbikes and cars making horrible reving noises throughout the day. How can this be allowed?

What an amazing show of engineering! The museum inside was suprisingly well thought out and very up to date. Even including how covid influenced the shipping industry & the accident in the Seuz canal. Staff was friendly & welcoming. We even got to see the structure in motion when a boat arrived during our visit. Definitely learned a lot here. There’s ramps up to the windows, large and lowered elevator buttons for easy accessibility.

The place was closed while we were there, but we were just passing by. Will have to come back when it's open as it's an impressive structure and appears to have a lot more inside.

Very impressive, lovely area. Didn't do the boat trip but looked interesting.

A gigantic elevator for boats? Amazing and curious place to visit if you like to go off the beaten track. There is a visitor centre that offers information and an interactive and child friendly expo. If you plan ahead you can also arrange a boat trip that takes you in the elevator.

Came by back. Exhibits were so so but the live boat lift was good experience. The Strépy-Thieu Boat Lift is a modern engineering marvel and a fascinating site to explore. Completed in 2002, it is one of the tallest boat lifts in the world, with a vertical rise of 73 meters. It was built to replace the historic canal lifts and improve navigation along the Canal du Centre. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views from the observation deck and learn about the area's rich industrial heritage in the exhibition space.

Quite small, but ok, it is impressive for one short visit, wc, lockers available, parking at nearby streets, first month's Sunday is for free! There are some information about Christianity and the fight between good (citizens) and evil (dragon) supplemented by several interactive stops, so kids had fun, but overally you can do it for less than 1 hour, for short Sunday walk it is good enought and you can admire the very nice surroundings

A very specific museum all about the dragon Doudou that seems it has a huge following and has an enactment once a year and from the movies playing in the museum, it looks akin to a soccer match with crowds of rowdy men charging around town.

Museum dedicated to the spectacle in Mons that is the Doudou. A huge festival of St George & Dragon and St Waudru. The museum does a fantastic job of describing a truly bonkers local festival and really makes me want to see the event in person one day.

The museum celebrates the history of an event held once a year where it seems everyone in the city of Mons gathers in the Grand-place to watch St-Georges on his horse fight a dragon. It is said to be good luck to obtain a piece of the dragon's tail which teams of mostly well-behaved patrons try to get close enough to grab. From these photos, you can see it is nearly impossible to get around during the event, so if possible, try to book a table at one of the restaurants which overlook the area.

A bit small, hopefully they manage to expand it in the future. Staff was very good though. It's inexpensive so I would still recommend it if you're in the area.

Nice interactive museum. Unfortunately the projectors in the rooms were off, make sure to ask the entrance to have them turned on.

This place is simply amazing. The technology used in this museum makes it very fun to visit. It was very interesting from start to end. Definitely stop here to learn more about this beautiful tradition from this beautiful city! The audioguide is also wonderful and it is available in French, English and Dutch.

A great space, you can walk around at your leisure, there’s a small garden. The stained glass roof is impressive just from its sheer size and detail. The tiled floor is in good shape and again very detailed. The rooms are set up with full furniture appropriately for each room as they were used

Nice art nouveau interior to enjoy in tranquility.

Amazing! I highly recommend it!

A very well preserved Art Deco hidden gem in Mons. Highly recommended to visit

This beautiful place is filled with intricate details. I visited it alone, and I highly recommend it. You won’t regret it!

Small piece is left of the house.

Nice!

Run by the Worlds Craft Council. Exhibitions are interesting and professional. Worth a visit.

Beautiful place with Still, best part of the year is on the Friday of the Doudou, when the open air party is on !

Interesting if you are into architecture and someone tels you about the history of the place, but if you aren't..

Well nothing special about it, if it wasn't for the event that took place there.

Super

Nice place

Super nora

An interesting site. We visited with our two children and they learned quite a bit about flint mining in the Neolithic era. The wall display showing different events through the ages was well done. We did the "underground" tour. It seemed promising when they gave us helmets and clipped us into some gear, but all we did was climb down a ladder and stand in a 10ft by 10ft area. Not allowed to touch, can't explore... Just stand and listen to the guide recite the same info that was on the panel above ground. Don't waste your money on the "underground" tour. Very expensive for nothing...

Interesting site. Super friendly staff and scientists are. Also a Nice area for a educational walk or even go out for a bike ride.

Excellent museum, superb landscape

Nice place to those who interested in archaeology. Small complane regarding English language.

An amazing little site, well kept and very interesting. Really worth a visit.

The centre was closed due to covid, but the place is nice, surrounded by green fields. Worthwhile to visit.

Very interesting and the guide was very good as well!

Quiet in a Monday, looking forward to the first Sunday events, which include a market, cultural events (some free), and a lively atmosphere. Fun city!

It was a beautiful place. Having a beautiful view from height.

Nice to sign out and people watch . The live music was fabulous in the lively quare about 10 min walk

Interesting walking around the restaurants to choose a spot to enjoy a meal and people watch !

Nice location, be aware that the food is very pricy, there is a mcdonalds but its overcrowded.

Typical Belgian square, lot of shops around and relatively quiet.

It's always nice to see it, but especially during Christmas with the market. Do not forget to place your left hand on the head of the small monkey to give you luck. You can find it in the front wall of the city hall.

A beautiful Gothic interior, with a multitude of stained glass windows, a real feature of Mons. The exterior is impressive too. Inside houses a large carriage used in the pageants like the ducasse of Mons.

It it a very beautiful church. You can feel all the history. Both the joy and the sorrows that have been felt in this place. There’s so much to see and especially enjoyed all the handcarved pieces. You’ll not regret visiting this beautiful church.

Beautiful gothic church with a lot of art, espescially the marble cursus are beautiful, marvelous Windows with stained glass and a small but interesting treasure room.

Very prominent church in Mons. Ongoing renovations and retrofitting. A lovely church indeed and the paintings inside and some interesting informations could be accessed through their partnered downloadable audio guide via IziTravel.

The Saint Waltrude Collegiate Church is the magnificent building of Mons. Even from the outside, one can see the church is of Gothic design, although the southern section is covered in scaffolding due to restoration work. The Gothic design is much more obvious from the inside with straight lines of incredible height. Part of that is down to the hardness of the stone used and even now looks so solid. As you can guess from the name, the church is named in honour of Saint Waltrude, whose shrine and reliquary can also be found inside. Her head can be found in the chapel dedicated to her and the reliquary containing her body is held above the high altar for all to see. The church also has some chapels with important sculptures and paintings such as those by Jacques du Broeucq and Peter Paul Rubens. The chapel of Saint Peter is unexpected as it has a wooden sculpture of death to symbolically represent the passage of time, as well as an alabaster sculpture of Jesus symbolically handing over the keys of heaven to Peter. There's also a free downloadable audio guide, which is good enough to help you understand the history of the church as well as giving good commenter on all the chapels.

Although missing a clock tower, it is worth a visit. It is huge church containing the relequis of St Waltrude. You can download a free tour guide giving you more background info.

One of Belgium's most beautiful churches if you ask me. It's very big and the relics and organ are just amazing. The story behind the beautiful carriage is also very interesting! Don't miss this on your visit to Mons.

Friendly & helpful capitan, great restaurant.

Very quiet and peaceful

No comment !🤔

(Translated by Google) The very proximity of the city allows easy passage... A calming place to take a nice walk. There is work going on at the moment, I suppose it will improve and add something more to this place that I like... (Original) La toute proximité de la ville permet un passage aisé... Un endroit apaisant pour y faire une belle balade. Il y a des travaux pour le moment, je suppose que cela va améliorer et apporter un plus à cet endroit que j'apprécie...

(Translated by Google) A beautiful place to stroll along the canal and enjoy the pleasant surroundings. The walks around the marina are peaceful and well-maintained, ideal for walking, running, or simply getting some fresh air. You can watch the boats, enjoy the view of the Grand Large, and relax in a peaceful setting. A pleasant place to discover in Mons, both for walkers and visitors. (Original) Très bel endroit pour se promener le long du canal et profiter d’un cadre agréable. Les balades autour du port de plaisance sont calmes et bien aménagées, idéales pour marcher, courir ou simplement prendre l’air. On peut observer les bateaux, profiter de la vue sur le Grand Large et se détendre dans un cadre reposant. Un lieu agréable à découvrir à Mons, autant pour les promeneurs que pour les visiteurs de passage.

(Translated by Google) Quick little tour to see the big Large and a few boats. Get some fresh air. (Original) Petit tour vite fait histoire de voir le grand Large et quelques bateaux. Prendre l'air quoi.

(Translated by Google) Nice place 👍 The little marina in Péronne had an added attraction, back when the refreshment bar was still open. We waited half an hour for a server. When you have to move around, a notice posted on the street would be useless, I suppose. Or maybe the servers were tired 😂 (Original) Lieu sympa 👍 Le petit port de plaisance de Péronne avait un attrait supplémentaire, quand il y avait encore la buvette..

The Eglise Sainte-Elisabeth de Mons is a church not far from the Grand Place of Mons. The church is a mixture of Gothic, Romanesque and Baroque as you’d expect from a church that’s been standing since the early 16th century and no doubt undergone restoration. Especially as the church was gutted by a fire in the 1715 and inside, you can see where the original Gothic structures withstood the fire and what had to be rebuilt, which is the majority. Not much of the original building has been restored and there’s only a few stained glass windows, the rest are plain glass. The church reputedly has a reliquary holding the relics of Saint George, which is housed in one of the chapels. Unless you’re extremely pious with a need to see relics and reliquaries of saints, I’d only visit the church if you have time to spare. There’s also a statue of Leopold II outside the south west corner of the church.

Beautiful church!

A rather nice and quite church dedicated to a Hungarian saint.

Nice church with a wooden art piece in front of it.

Spiritual, historical and I liked the ceremonies there

Very nice church

A beautiful place of worship

(Translated by Google) The building, the place and its history are worth the detour! Guided tour of the site was very informative. The exhibitions during our visit: frankly not at all convincing! Ps: there is an (excellent) restaurant on the site, a gem! (Original) Le bâtiment, le lieu et son histoire valent le détour ! Visite guidée du site fût très instructive. Les expositions lors de notre passage : franchement pas du tout convaincantes ! Ps: il y a un (excellent) restaurant sur le site, une perle!

(Translated by Google) Awesome ! Definitely one of my favorite contemporary art museums! I saw some incredible exhibitions there! (Original) Génial ! Certainement un de mes musée d'art contemporain préféré ! J'y ai vu des expositions incroyable !

(Translated by Google) The place is worth the trip but on the other hand the exhibitions really leave something to be desired, especially the latest one by Daniel'Turner, it's a disaster, a large room with 2 beams on the floor, another room with door handles and 2 squeegees for the floor and a 3rd room with old mattresses and a bunch of pipes etc… where is the art? It's rubbish, I think it would be urgent to select better because the last 3 times, zero, zero. And pay to see that??? (Original) Le lieu vaut le déplacement mais par contre les expositions laissent vraiment à désirer , surtout la dernière actuelle de Daniel’Turner, c’est un désastre, une grande salle avec 2 poutres au sol, une autre salle avec des poignées de porte et 2 raclettes pour le sol et une 3eme salle avec des vieux matelas et un tas de tuyaux etc … ou est l’art ? C’est du grand n’importe quoi, je pense qu’il serait urgent de mieux sélectionner car les 3 dernières fois, nul, nul. Et payer pour voir ça ???

(Translated by Google) Planning a school trip with preschoolers, who are excited to go, booking a bus only to end up not enjoying anything, even though it was booked... Frankly, it's more than average. If some people don't know how to keep a schedule properly, it's a shame... A waste of time and a disappointment for adults and especially children. This isn't the time you've made anyone happy... A word to the wise... (Original) Prévoir un voyage scolaire avec des maternelles, qui sont contents d'y aller, prévoir un car pour au final ne profiter de rien, alors que c'était réservé... Franchement c'est plus que moyen, si certains ne savent pas tenir d'agenda correctement c'est bien malheureux... Perte de temps et désillusion pour les grands et surtout les petits. Ce n'est pas cette fois que vous avez fait des heureux... A bon entendeur...

(Translated by Google) Big, good if you're in the area. Not worth a long drive. Super super friendly staff 🙂 (Original) Groot, goed als je een beetje in de buurt bent. Geen lange rit waard. Super super friendly staff 🙂

(Translated by Google) I am very positive and satisfied with the customer friendliness and warmth of the staff at the reception and in the museum. The museum itself is more of a large gallery. Although in a UNESCO building, the surrounding area is a bit disappointing to drive all the way to this location. (Original) Ik ben heel positief en tevreden over de klantvriendelijkheid en de warmte van het personeel aan onthaal en in het museum. Het museum zelf is meer een grote gallerij. Weliswaar in een UNESCO gebouw, maar rondom valt de omgeving wat tegen om helemaal tot deze locatie te rijden.

It's really cute. Beautiful field around the castle and a little playground. I wish we could have gone inside but you have to have a tour guide. It wasn't crowded at all which was nice.

We visited the garden. Pleasantly surprised although being at the end of a dry and windy summer. The walk around the castle and adjoining buildings was short. Very disconcerting to see this 800 yo castle in a state of disarra. Huge cracks from the roofs down.

Strange place with castle that is merely demolished and in a bad stage. Not worth visiting

Lovely place, nice walk around castle.. we came at late evening hours (around 9pm), not possible to visit indoor rooms.

Beautiful!! Loved it. The castle reflected in the small lake and with the sun it simply looked amazing. Recommended for some nice pictures.

It is a different castle for sure but there isnt much more than walking around it and leaving. There is animal droppings everywhere so watch your step. For a quick picture its cool, but we spent a total of ten minutes here and moved on.

very nice old man who has this place it is a beautiful place and very big has everything you can think of very worth a visit

(Translated by Google) Not bad for a regional museum but needs modernizing and is quite small. Mainly stuffed animals. But my 3 year old granddaughter really liked it. Quite small.

(Translated by Google) I can only say good things about him, I have known him since I was 13. I married the curator José FRIES, to whom I would really have liked to pay tribute, he greatly contributed to the improvement of this Museum! I saw some wonderful things that are no longer there today because the museum has changed a lot but it is a very interesting attraction. Notably the 2.58 m giant Constantine that everyone certainly knows now, not to mention all the animal species as well as certain elements preserved in formalin. Anne Françoise Polonini de VIGNIER /FRIES. My husband died in 2013. Go for it ! (Original) Je ne peux en dire que du bien, je le connais depuis l'âge de 13 ans. j'en ai épousé le conservateur José FRIES dont j'aurais vraiment aimé que l'on rende hommage il a grandement contribué à l'amélioration de ce Musée !

Tiny house with the little window looking toward the old mine of Marcasse, where Van Gogh went to -700m.

A fascinating museum and guided walk where Vincent Van Gogh lived.

Got there in pouring rain but still amazing

WASMES

(Translated by Google) The “Van Gogh” house in Colfontaine, pleasant visit. You will discover a place where Vincent Van Gogh stayed with Jean Baptiste Denis (1825-1893). Mini treasure hunts with cards for children. During bike rides, this is an opportunity to stop. Visit from 30 minutes to 1 hour. There is a floor to visit, a room from September 2022. (Original) La maison "Van Gogh" à Colfontaine, visite agréable. Vous découvrirez un lieu où Vincent Van Gogh a logé chez Jean Baptiste Denis (1825-1893).

Il y a un étage à visiter, une salle de depuis septembre 2022.

(Translated by Google) It's a wonderful place! If you're a Van Gogh fan, I think it's definitely worth a visit. I definitely recommend making a reservation before you go. I was thrilled to be able to visit the place where Van Gogh stayed, but what really made an impression on me was the truly wonderful woman who treated me. She was so kind and polite, even though I don't speak the local language, and it really warmed my heart. She told me in English about the founding of the Maison and adorable stories about the children who visited, and I grew to love her even though it was just a short visit. I met so many wonderful people during my three-week trip to visit Van Gogh, but she was the only one I wanted to hug! She was such a wonderful and warm person. I'm truly grateful. (Original) 素晴らしい場所です！ゴッホファンなら訪れる価値が大いにあると感じました。ぜひ予約をした上で訪れてみてください。 ゴッホが滞在していた場所に来られたことも感動でしたが、もうひとつ、対応してくださった女性の方が本当に素晴らしい方だったのがとても印象に残りました。現地語が話せない私に対してもとても親切で丁寧に対応してくださり、心が温まる思いでした。こちらのMaisonの創設に関することや、訪れた子供たちの可愛らしいエピソードなども英語で教えてくださり、短時間の訪問でもとても愛着がわきました。ゴッホを巡る３週間の旅の中でたくさんの素敵な人たちに出会えましたが、ハグまでしたくなったのは彼女だけです！それくらい素晴らしく、温かい方でした。心から感謝申し上げます。

(Translated by Google) Very small museum. But also very beautiful. Dirt cheap (2 euros). Fantastically maintained. Super friendly museum attendant. Unique material, including authentic letters from Vincent. Worth a detour. (Original) Zeer klein museumpje. Maar ook zeer mooi. Spotgoedkoop (2 euro). Fantastisch onderhouden. Supervriendelijke museumbediende. Uniek materiaal, o.a. authentieke brieven van Vincent. Een omwegje waard.

It’s a nice museum about science, chemistry, history about the place where it is built and about the future jobs. There are almost only games to make the learning fun with a big place outside for kids, to play and a restaurant/cafeteria.

A museum that combines cultural relics, history and scientific experience. The museum provides experiences in Dutch, French and English, which is eye-catching. The staff are friendly and welcoming. You can also climb the hill next to it to have a panoramic view of the rich local scenery. A full day activity suitable for the whole family and very meaningful.

We visited on a Tuesday and it was a fantastic experience. We purchased tickets online and were greeted by a kind young lady who offered a map. We spent a little over 3 hours at the museum and the kids wanted to keep going. Most things were labeled in three languages, so as primarily English speakers it was pleasant to be able to read the science behind the displays. I do think we missed an entire section somehow since some of the things we were looking forward to we didn’t encounter. The cafe food was delicious, but we did have a bit of trouble communicating our order- a small menu we could point to might be helpful for future guests (not expected in another country, but might be helpful!). None of the workshops were open, but I can understand why with how quiet it was. Overall it was a wonderful experience.

More than half of the experiences and experiments do not work - it’s a pity for the price of 25 eur. Only one person serving in the canteen creating more than 30 people queue that does not move. Suboptimal experience.

absolutely amazing place for a family with children, free parking in front of the entrance, great admission fee is definitely worthwhile, a realy huge complex full of amazing scientific experiments, certainly the most scientific attractions in one place I've ever seen, we were there for 4 hours but that's not enough to see everything, there is even the 4d cinema inside, large restaurant with English speaking personnel, they have very big outdoor playground for kids and a cute small garden, this is just a great and lovely place for whole family, we will definitely come back, cons: no English translations on some attractions...

We had a great day here with the kids. Rainy days abund in Belgium and places like PASS are a real life saver. You can plan a whole day in the museum. There are workshops for the kids and plenty of activities. Food is basic but correct. Bring some fruit though.

Unique museum in a former coal mine and factory. Good place to educate children on science and technology as it evolves to support the future.

Wonderful bubbly wines. A great story. Take the tour and stay for a tasting and a meal.

A great champagne place with horrible road stop type of food served by untrained staff that tell you that anchovies are fish and don’t know what grape cépage is in the champagne of namesake. It’s in the countryside it would not be so difficult to find a real baker and serve proper bread with farm butter instead of supermarket bread with cheap motel plastic individual serving butter. The setting of the bistro is nice but go there for drinks outside on the terrace and eat the nibbles and tartes de Françoise. For food and service imagine it like at Ibis breakfast area.

Super cosy place. Food is fine but a little pricy for what you get. Overall super. Wine in top end with a lot of Belgian top end wines. Staff are super.

Someone recommended visiting to sit outside and have a drink in the surroundings of the vineyard. It is Very relaxing and picturesque. To do the tour - at least 10 people are needed. Was very popular place and all staff very welcoming and informative.

We enjoyed a tour and tasting here. They were able to provide us with an English speaking guide, Catherine, You could clearly see that she was passionate about this place. The sparkling wine was terrific.

Highly recommended. A knowledgeable guide will explain you the process of wine making. Of course, the visit will finish with a wine tasting.

Fantastic, the food, the setting and the staff.

Not well kept. Saw a used condom near kids play area and obscene drawings on the play equipment. The flowers were beautiful though.

Great

(Translated by Google) Hello, I went to the municipal administration today for several papers to collect from your offices. A real obstacle course to obtain a birth certificate of a Tunisian non-husband And to my great surprise none of that is there! 😵 I took the steps myself in 2014, hence my certainty. That the administration has received my husband's birth certificate. Please note that my husband already has an F identity card! The foreigners service gave me an appointment for the next morning, because they needed to do research in their archives! probably in the archives??? No more! 🤔. But Without certainty for the foreign service! Really in total incomprehension for my part. 🤔. Seeing as it dates from 2014! Hence my incomprehension! I direct him to reception, explaining my role, to a reception worker Alan J. As well as his colleague. They start looking for the requested document. After a few moments Mr. ALAN J. Reception agent comes back to me and heads towards the court of first instance. With giving correct and n file ect.. My husband's act would be at home! ? . This avoids an additional trip for us and a bulky burden in the Mons community establishment! Especially on a Monday morning 🤣😂. Action ! Reaction ! Thank you Mr ALAIN J. For your welcome and your skills. 🙏. Honestly, I really hope so! To have this very important document for us.

(Translated by Google) Proof of the catastrophic management of the city of Mons: following a registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt to obtain a clear response concerning the institutions, letter addressed to the mayor!

This document is intended for justice, but in Wallonia, and especially in Mons, what does the word justice mean! This legal document is nothing more than a piece of paper, which proves that nothing is specific to the catastrophic management of Mons, nothing, not even respect for the laws in force in Belgium (Original) Preuve de la gestion catastrophique de la ville de mons : suite à un envoi recommandé avec accusé de réception pour obtenir une réponse claire concernant les institutions, lettre adressée au bourgmestre !
