We’ll take a coach to the historical heart of Mons to enjoy a tour on foot of the city. Few cities can boast about their heritage like Mons can. This is a vibrant, modern city with a deep, historic past. The Grand-Place offers a myriad of places to lose yourself in. The city hall's colossal doors conceal a curious passageway taking visitors to the city center. At the end of the passageway, the hustle and bustle give way to the tranquility of the Jardin du Mayeur. Nature surrounds many of the capital's older buildings, including the Mont-de-Piété and the baroque-style belfry. Discover Mons on a food tour to taste all the local specialties—beer, chocolate, wine, and cheese—in establishments chosen expressly for you. Indulging in the local cuisine makes this tour an unforgettable experience. Enjoy some free time on your own to see what this small city has to offer. We’ll return to the ship.
