The city
What to expect from Durbuy.
Durbuy is a small medieval town in the Ourthe valley, in the northern part of the Belgian province of Luxembourg, where French is spoken. It received its city charter in 1331 and likes to present itself as the smallest city in the world. The centre has cobbled streets, the Halle aux Blés, the counts' castle d'Ursel (viewed from the outside), the Parc des Topiaires and the Rocher de la Falize. The Wéris dolmens are about 10 km away.
