Old Town of Durbuy, Durbuy

We spend a beautiful day in Durbuy. It's a small charming city. We loved the Restaurants, Bars and the small shops. It was a beautiful day trip and we highly recommend to visit Durbuy.

It took almsot three hours to get here. Through the pouring rain. Along winding roads. And three hours back. But it was definitely worth the drive. This medieval village here in this beautiful valley has it all. A compact town center, a great location by the river. Good food. And of course a castle: the chateau de Durbuy. There is plenty of parking. A big space just across the river and a bigger lot (with shuttle service) a bit outside. But during Covid-19 it wasn't a problem to find a spot. The small town center is easy to walk, maybe a bit slippery if it's rainy. Lots of historic buildings, wonderful architecture. The chateau isn't that huge, but looks amazing, sitting there right by the river. Besides the nice streets and lanes it's also worth to walk along the river. There are lots of shops. Souvenirs, arts & crafts. But nothing that amazed us. But the food on the other hand was pretty amazing. The best food during our stay in Belgium we've had here in Durbuy. At the "Le fou du Roy", just in the town center. Even though a bit rainy, we enjoyed the village very much. A fantastic daytrip. And even maybe because of the rain and light fog it looked even more magical. Really a highlight on that years Road Trip. Loved it.

Despite the changing weather Durbuy proved to withstand the test and delivered magnificent views, mystique medieval atmosphere and a rich shopping experience. To be visited at any time of the year. Appropriate for all ages.

Lovely place to spend an afternoon. The food was to die for and you cannot see any damages from the flooding. People are friendly, the shops are quaint, plenty of options to have drinks and enjoy the view. Would highly recommend!

Very beautiful and cozy city. Without a doubt, we'll return for a walk and enjoy more of the beers and wines served in the bars you can find amidst the charming alleys
