Limbourg

The Ardennes


Well worth the 1km detour if you're driving between Eupen and Verviers (turn south at Dolhain), Limbourg is one of Belgium's most delightful historic villages.

It is raised on a promontory with a long, roughly cobbled central square lined by picturesque houses including a superb old-world brasserie-cafe facing the former town hall, which now hosts an art gallery featuring a model of medieval Limbourg as it looked when it was a fully fortified citadel.
