Durbuy - Main tourist attractions

It is the town itself with its shops, cafés and eating places set in narrow flowered and cobbled streets lined by old stone houses which forms the key attraction of this town. A walk through the old town is a must for every visitor. The Topiary Park (see below) also merits a visit. There's also the short train ride to the top of the Belvedere where you can enjoy the view or visit the local jam factory.

The Topiary Park The smallest town on earth ironically boasts the largest topiary park anywhere! With over 30.000 square feet of some 250 clipped box trees on display the park is an impressive sight. A large variety of figures have been created, including animal and human forms.

The Belvedere is a vantage point (with good photo opportunities) high above Durbuy at the top of the cliff face behind the town. There is a magnificent view over the town and of the valley of the River Ourthe.

The Confiturerie Saint-Amour is a jam factory open to the public where you can still see the jam being hand-stirred in large copper basins. The visit is free. The final product can be purchased in the factory shop, which also sells other foods from the surrounding area. The Tourist Road-Train is the best way to visit both the Belvedere and Saint-Amour jam factory. Alternatively, if you prefer, you can walk the steep climb up the hill. The journey takes about 30 minutes and includes a trip around town before the train makes the climb up the hill.
