Stavelot’s Abbey is one of Wallonia exceptional heritage sites and in the area around it Stavelot conserves all the characteristics of an 18th-century city: a majestic Grand Place, stone and half-timbered houses, ruins, small alleys and fountains. The actual heart of the High Ardennes both historically and culturally speaking, the city of Stavelot beats in rhythm with its three museums and its various cultural events all-year-round: exhibitions, international festivals of chamber music, jazz, folktales and theatre, along with traditional festivities such as the Laetare of Blancs Moussis – one of the most famous carnivals in Belgium.

Once an abbey principality, the region of Stavelot is dominated by the great Ardennes forest. With endless fen landscape from Hockai to Coo, where the beautiful Ambleve River is driven into spectacular waterfalls, our region offers picturesque sceneries with dozens of walks for visitors upon old legendary paths leading to some charming hamlets.

Through the centuries, nature and man have shaped the landscape of the region of Stavelot, this land of history and culture, but also, and above all, of hospitality.

Another centre of interest not to be missed is the Spa-Francorchamps Racetrack, known to be the most beautiful track in the world.
