Get up early and wander the streets.
The downtown area is so beautiful. I’d be happy to get lost in them for a whole day. It’s not *that* big, but you know what I mean. It’s just relaxing to take it all in without the sounds of the city, the soft morning light, and not having to watch too closely where you are going.
Grand Large
Outside the city center, but easy to get to by bus or bike, this lake is surrounded with things to do. You can take a lovely walk around the lake or rent bikes to explore the area. Surrounding the lake you’ll find indoor mini-golf, a small water park, and go-karting for the little adventure-seekers.
Take a street art tour
This was one thing that surprised us about Belgium, is that the towns all seem to appreciate street art. From sculptures, to paintings and installations, various works of art come together to make the city even more inviting. There’s more to look at, more places to explore, and makes art accessible to all.
Brasse Temps
Not in the old center but worth a visit, this brewery next to a movie theater is more than what it appears to be. The food is phenomenal, and the drinks are awesome at Brasse Temps. If you like beer, you’ll love it and you should get a flight. If you don’t, I’d encourage you to try the cherry beer and/or one of the beer cocktails. That’s what I did and loved it.
Re Belge
If you’re looking for quirky, simple with a touch of gourmet, plus local ingredients, then Re Belgeis your place. Don’t expect anything. Be excited to be surprised by whatever you get. It’s a different kind of restaurant and I think you’ll love it.
Masu Restaurant
Masu Restaurantwas awarded Bib Gourmand by the Michelin Guide, so you know it’s good. It’s modern and tad fancy while still being chill. If you like colorful places, this will certainly catch your eye.
When you’re given recommendations by locals, you take them seriously! And while I didn’t have time to go to a bar, I want to pass these recommendations to you so you can have a good time out with a good drink. They do have terraces, so a sunny day would be perfect…but then again, any day is a good day for a good bar! Check out Mood Bar & Citizen Fo...
We stayed in two different places in Mons because we arrived in the evening and left the next morning to explore the countryside. When we came back, we stayed in the center and it was amazing. So, depending on your needs, either of these two might be just right for you.
Try the Gin d’Mons
Try this gin at many restaurants and bars in the city. We enjoyed ours at lunch when we were at L’Envers
Enjoy Eau De Villée
This is a local lemon liqueurthat’s delicious and perfect for after a good meal.
Make chocolates
Obviously! I went into more depth earlier, but this workshop was the highlight of our trip. I highly recommend you make your own chocolates in this little shop from A-Chocola.
The capital of the province of Hainaut, Mons had about 27,500 inhabitants at the beginning of the war. In 1914, Mons was an administrative center that was home to a great number of legal and judicial authorities. Only a few industries had been developed in the city in contrast to the neighboring region of Borinage that had experienced major ...
- St Symphorien Military Cemetery. A visit to a cemetery might not sound like an ideal day out for everybody but the St Symphorien Military Cemetery in Mons is different to an ordinary graveyard.
- Mons Memorial Museum. Whilst ‘new’ isn’t necessarily a quality looked for in a museum, the Mons Memorial Museum is well worth visiting. The collections on show cover both World Wars and strike an even balance between the stories of ordinary civilians, soldier’s accounts and military history.
- Strépy-Thieu Boat Lift. A truly remarkable feat of engineering and an unforgettable sight in Mons is the Strepy-Thieu Boat Lift. It is the tallest in the world and essentially uses giant containers of water to raise boats from one level to the next.
- Collegiale Sainte-Waudru. The Collegiale Sainte-Waudru is without a doubt the most striking church in Mons. The exterior is an impressive 15th Century gothic masterpiece and there are plenty of objects and artefacts within to keep you interested.
