If you haven’t made it to Mons en Lumieres this year yet, this weekend is your last opportunity. We went this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. Do pop along and see the City Centre transformed into a colourful immersive light show and access some buildings that are not usually open to the public.
You can download a map (link below) or pick one up from the Visitor centre.
Walk the FREE, 3km circular route starting and finishing at Place Leopold and enjoy the 16 beautiful illuminations with music and audio. The city was as full of hustle and bustle at 20:00 as it was at Midday Saturday.
No need to pre-book just head to Mons and walk at your own pace and read the boards at each installation (in French, Dutch and English). Pre-bookable tours are available if you are keen for an English audio-guided tour. More Here about guided tours.
