We even included some of our favorite food spots around the area, like Dolce Vita and Restaurant le Grand Maur so you can get the best taste of Spa while you’re here.

The Circuit of Spa-Francorchamps is a renowned race track that hosts various motorsport events, including the F1 Grand Prix. Visitors can explore three museums within the 18th-century outbuildings, with one dedicated to the nearby circuit. Getting to the venue for events like the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix is made convenient with advice on transportation options such as trains, buses, and driving.
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. We couldn't get into any of the main but it wasn't a problem. Found a parking spot near by.

Very beautiful track, historical, nested in the Belgian Ardennes, 100 meters elevation through the track, the wonderful Eau-Rouge uphill, the pines beneath the photo spots... An unforgettable 5/5 experience for any motorsport fan !
Vachfolle — Google review
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.
Ben H — Google review
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.
Andy B — Google review
Attended the F1 race last weekend. The track is everything I hoped for. The event being put on by F1, not so much. Buying a GA ticket we walked the entire track and had a great time. 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!

Pouhon Pierre-le-Grand is a renowned spring in Spa, attracting visitors from around the world seeking its high mineral content and reputed healing properties. Housed in a historic stone building, which now serves as the town's tourist office, this prolific spring is said to have cured Tsar Peter the Great. Flowing at a rate of up to 21,000 liters per day, it is rich in mineral salts and iron.
Spa centre. If you're ever around, it's nice to wander around for a few hours. Free parking is possible at the church if you're lucky. Nice old buildings. Some nice places to have coffee or lunch.

Wonderful exhibition on Hergé's work, including the "exposition imaginaire de Tintin". Visitors learn a lot about Hergé's live and how the Tintin comics were created. Everyone who is in Spa and with a passion for Tintin should visit this unique exhibition. The merchandise shop is accessible without an entrance ticket.
Joyful J — Google review
Informative plates explain the history of Spa and other cities with thermal baths across Europe. The building is nice to see. The entrance fee is 1 EUR, and definitely worth it. The water coming from the spring has a sulfurous odour. Great for a short visit (30 min)
Timothy V — Google review
Nicely renovated building, but for access to the source you have to pay. The two taps are not labeled (Reine & Henriette). To enter the exhibition hall there was no clear way in (pay again?). Better visit the Source de la Sauveniere.

Its nice to see the fountain of original Spa. It give cold sparkling water straight from the water. BUT, it stinks super badly with iron smell. I had to wash my hand with soap to remove iron smell. I took a sip of the water and it tastes AWFUL. A friend of mine drank too much of this water and he got bad angry stomach, bloated, gastric reflux reaction. Just see the fountain, it looks like it contains lots of iron content. Please do not try to drink it. REALLY NOT RECOMMENDED

(Translated by Google) There is parking for the entire domain. From the parking lot you can choose to go for a walk, to the museum, to the cafeteria, etc. You can reach the museum via the wooden path (which is not in very good condition). The museum itself is really worth it. When you enter there is a section dedicated to birds. Furthermore, the focus is on the forest itself and which smaller animals and fungi live there, for example. Attention is also paid to water (more specifically Spa). Then the focus is mainly on the larger animals that live in the Ardennes. There is another section next to the toilets with wooden tools, nocturnal animals and folklore. This last part is less visible, we would have walked past it if we did not have to go to the toilet. It is an interactive museum with various assignments that you can do and listen to. The staff at the cash register was friendly. The museum can be visited with the museum pass. There are sanitary facilities and a small shop. There is also a cafeteria, but for that you have to walk outside and towards the parking lot. This was closed yesterday. (Original) Er is een parking voor het hele domein. Vanuit de parking kan je kiezen om te gaan wandelen, naar het museum te gaan, naar het cafetaria enz. Via het houten pad (dat niet in zeer goede staat is) kan je het museum bereiken. Het museum zelf is echt de moeite waard. Wanneer je binnenkomt is er een deel gewijd aan vogels. Verder wordt de focus nog gelegd op het bos zelf en welke kleinere diertjes en schimmels er bijvoorbeeld leven. Er wordt ook aandacht besteed aan water (meer bepaald Spa). Daarna wordt de focus voornamelijk gezet op de grotere dieren die in de Ardennen leven. Aan de wc’s is er nog een deel met houten werktuigen, nachtdieren en folklore. Dit laatste deel is minder goed zichtbaar, we waren er voorbij gelopen als we niet naar de wc moesten. Het is een interactief museum met verschillende opdrachtjes die je kan doen en waarnaar je kan luisteren. Het personeel aan de kassa was vriendelijk. Het museum kan bezocht worden met de museumpas. Er is sanitaire voorziening aanwezig en een kleine shop aanwezig. Er is ook een cafetaria, maar daarvoor moet je naar buiten en richting de parking wandelen. Deze was gisteren gesloten.

Domain of Bérinzenne is a beautiful nature reserve with well-marked trails, offering visitors the chance to explore the typical bog landscape and gain insightful information. The park features various paths for exploration, with a highlight being the watchtower providing a stunning view of the Domaine de Berinzenne and its surroundings. However, some visitors have noted that the wooden decking on many parts of the walking paths is in poor condition, which could pose safety concerns.

Mediocre food. The pizza was sweet, the steak was old, food was delivered at different times to different people at our table (some got their main course 1:30hr after the first one was served.

This place seems to have different management and staff during lunchtime and dinner. We went for lunch and it was great, very nice lady serving and very good food. We were so pleased about it we decided to also go for dinner, but it turned out to be a real disappointment. The waiter was nice but very busy, we waited nearly 1 hour to be served and the food wasn't that great either. Maybe also the cook was a different one..? What a pity ...

The food was ok, but 100% microwaved. Service was terrible, and the staff was racist. They didn't listen to us and just served the food whenever it was ready (even giving us our second courses before the appetizer). You'll get better service by buying your own microwaved stuff and making it yourself for much less money. Also, it's expensive for what it offers.

The chic and elegant ambiance adds to the romantic appeal of this place, making it perfect for a weekend getaway. The restaurant also offers excellent wine pairings and friendly staff who ensure an enjoyable dining experience.
We spent a night in the villa, and it was just exquisite. The room was well furnished, charming, the bathroom really clean and cosy. The owner are very welcoming, caring and attentive. We felt right at home, in a get away feeling like that this villa is giving. The breakfast was perfect. This exactly. From the coffee to the choices of plates, the spices on the eggs to the pinch of orange blossom in the French toasts, the choices of cheese, the croissants, we could taste the quality of each product. This was the dream breakfast. Thank you so much!

Beautiful restaurant, we were here before and returned because of our great experience the first time. We had a two course dinner and we're surprised with a lovely appetiser too. Our drinks were non-alcoholic but mixed too sweet. The waiter made sure they were remixed, which was lovely. The deer was fresh and local from the hunting season, and the cheese platter was small but tasty. The coffee was gorgeous and served in beautiful cups. Will visit again.

We had a very good three course meal here, for a very reasonable price. I had the duck foie gras as a starter, but the steak seared on one side as a main course was simply divine. So delicious!

La Source de la Géronstère is an elegant guesthouse with four comfortable rooms that offer picturesque forest views. Guests can enjoy a complimentary breakfast and access to free Wi-Fi during their stay. The establishment also boasts a pleasant outdoor seating area where visitors can relax and indulge in a refreshing beverage while basking in the sunlight, if weather permits. For those looking for a delightful family activity, taking a scenic stroll alongside the water towards the renowned Source de Barisart is highly recommended.
We went for a long lunch with 9 people in total. Staff was very kind and helpful. Food was very well made. We ordered forel (fish), chicken salad, large carpaccio and steak and all were amazing. Location in the forest is lovely and has a romantic feel. Perfect spot to do a hike also. New owners did a good job. We will Definitely come back.

A beautiful hotel hidden in the quiet of the forest and surrounded by greenery! A charming stone building with a rich history, located on the site of an ancient mineral spring. The atmosphere of the Middle Ages can be felt in every element of the architecture. The hotel is small but incredibly cozy. Downstairs, there is a spacious restaurant with a fireplace, antique chandeliers, and comfortable armchairs, and nearby, there are old buildings and real carriages that create the feeling of traveling back in time. The owners are wonderful, genuinely friendly people. In the morning, we were treated to a delicious and generous breakfast prepared especially for us. Our stay here was romantic and peaceful. Thank you very much for your hospitality — we will be happy to come back again!

Bad idea to stop by and ask to fill my bike water bottles. I was fine to pay for still mineral water but I was surely not expecting to pay EUR 11.80 for 2 bottle of 0.5 liter without even sitting at the table. A more honest attitude would be fine. There are free public water fountains in Rome and Venice just for your information.

We made a reservation that was cancelled the same day with an excuse that was hard to believe (flooded room). We went to check anyway and there was a party happening, so we suspect that our room was cancelled in favor of one of the party guests. They booked another room for us " very nice, rural area, dogs are allowed" which turned out to be a very basic hostel where dogs are not allowed. We will not be coming back here.

Beautiful food! Steak can be served on a hot rock so you can cook it to your liking! Not over priced and has a lovely garden! Going back tonight!

Really good starter (with raw beef), main dish (entrecote) okay but not outstanding. Quite pricy. Atmosphere rather chilly, but very good service, friendly.
