This little church perched on the city’s central hill is not one of the most spectacular in Europe but it is certainly charming. Eglise Saint Donat was built in 1626 by Capuchin Monks and has been restored in 1851 to represent the building that you see today. The church has been closed for much of this year due to restorative work but nevertheless ...
The Eglise Saint Donat’s main rival for architectural attention is the nearby church of Saint Martin. This church has a much more Gothic architectural style and dominates the skyline of Arlon. The building was constructed in 1905 and there is plenty to see within including a small area dedicated to Saint Martin himself who visited the town of Arlon...
The Archaeological museum on Rue des Martyrs has a fairly small but fascinating collection. The museum explores buildings that have been discovered in the town which is believed to be one of the oldest in the country of Belgium. Entry to the museum costs 4 euros but be warned the signage around the collection is not in English so you will need to o...
Just across the street from the Archaeological Museum, the Maison Gaspar can be visited for only an extra 2 euros. The building was built in the 19th Century and looks good from the outside but it is inside where the treasure lies. Inside the house, you will find a collection of lavish furnishings alongside sculptures and paintings. The highlight i...

The Bicycle Museum in Arlon is a great way to learn about the humble bicycle from its very conception to its modern-day form. The story of the bicycle begins in 1817 and can be followed through the museum with many artefacts and objects to help clarify the tale. The various bikes on show here are weird, wacky and wonderful and make for thrilling vi...
As with all Belgian towns, Arlon has many good pubs and even more good beers. One of the standout pubs in Arlon is the Taverne La Forum. The stone-roofed Taverne is cosy and comfortable all year round and always has a good selection of beers on tap as well as some great Lambic by the bottle. If you have never tried Lambic beer, then this is the per...
General Patton of the United States Army was nicknamed Old Blood and Guts and was a prolific military man. Patton is best remembered for his sweep across France into Belgium during the Second World War. The memorial made in his honour in Arlon marks the spot where he assembled his troops prior to the Battle of the Bulge which resulted in around 175...
Arlon has some great places to eat and chief amongst them is the Le Fils De Paul. It has a great reputation and due to its fairly casual gastropub appearance, it is reasonably priced too. The décor here is everything a cosy Belgian pub should be with wooden floorboards, a fireplace and dark hardwood furniture. The food is just as comforting and inc...
The two Roman towers in Arlon, named Jupiter and Neptune, are located on the Grand Place and were once part of the ramparts. The walls here were built from the remains of dismantled sculptures much of which can be seen in the nearby archaeological museum. The sculpture which represents Neptune is still somewhat intact and can be seen here beneath t...
