General information
Wallonia and the Ardennes show Belgium’s greener, hillier and more relaxed side, with forests, river valleys, caves, castles and small towns.
Trips and nature
The Ardennes are the natural heart, with wooded hills, river valleys, cliffs, caves and hiking routes. The Meuse valley around Dinant is especially scenic.
Food and atmosphere
Namur and Dinant add citadels and river history, while abbeys, battlefields, castles and villages give the region strong historical depth.
Transport and stay
Trains reach main towns, but a car is very useful for Ardennes villages, hikes, castles and rural valleys.
