Walk · 1 h · free · grey-stone lanes on the banks of the Ourthe

Durbuy presents itself as "the smallest city in the world": a seventeenth-century old town of grey stone, pink brick and cobbles, tucked into a bend of the Ourthe beneath the castle of the Counts of Ursel, which cannot be visited inside. It can be walked in an unhurried hour: the lanes around the Place aux Foires, the bridge over the river and the bank, with views of the castle.
At weekends there are lots of people and the terraces fill up; on weekdays and in winter it is much quieter. The panels at the entrance show the free spaces in the car parks in real time.
