With an English brochure in hand we explored this small but interesting museum about the citadel and the city. Some of the audio displays are in English but most are in French and Dutch (of course). Even with our limited French skills we learned a lot. If we had more time we would take some of the tours of the grounds/underground. You can wander much of the citadel grounds for free and enjoy the fantastic views but beware they lock the gates at 8 pm in summer and you could get trapped!

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.

The town, or townspeople, states that Durbuy is the smallest town in the world. i don'tknow about…read morethat because I've seen smaller places but it is one of the prettiest small towns in the world! There are things to do in town, but visiting the chateau isn't one of them because it is privately owned. The best thing is just wandering around the very ancient town with your camera, clicking away and just enjoying the scenery. There are some really good restaurants there, which is a bonus! I would recommend avoiding the place in the summer since it is crawling with tourists. Autumn is nice, especially when the hunting season rolls around and you can get some wild boar to eat. Delicious! Also, I prefer the autumny decorations with the pumpkins and such. This is a nice town to just relax.

The cafe has a few different beers on tap and also those aforementioned snacks. You can also get, to take away I'm guessing, some delicious bread that they also make. The abbey itself, if I remember correctly, isn't up to much but if you don't live in Belgium and haven't been to many/any Belgian abbeys, you might like this one. They also have a gift shop with stuff that you probably don't want to buy but hey, even monks have to make a living.
