About Mons

Mons, the largest city in Belgium’s Hainaut province, charms visitors with cobbled streets, grand squares, and sweeping views from its famous belfry. If you’re hunting for hotels in Mons, you’ll find plenty to suit every style and budget. To be at the heart of the action, stay near the Grand Place, where boutique and design hotels put you steps from buzzing cafes. Families and those seeking quiet comfort often prefer spots by the Church of Saint Waltrude, while budget stays cluster near the station.

Mons really came into the spotlight when it was named European Capital of Culture in 2015, and it’s easy to see why. The city charms with its medieval heart, where the Grand Palace sets the scene with elegant architecture and lively cafes. Mons is also home to the Ducasse de Mons, or Doudou festival—a week-long celebration filled with parades, golden carriages, the legendary battle between St. George and the dragon, and of course, plenty of beer. Beyond the festivities, the city’s cultural side shines through in places like the Mons Memorial Museum, which offers a thoughtful look at the region’s history, and the Collegiale Sainte-Waudru, a striking church that dominates the skyline. Together, they make Mons a destination that mixes history, beauty, and a touch of spectacle.
