It took almsot three hours to get here. Through the pouring rain. Along winding roads. And three…read morehours 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.

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.
