Beautiful historic city center of this "smallest town." It's best to visit during quieter periods, otherwise it can get very crowded.

Part of the boardwalk is broken, making it impassable. The path is still accessible, but it's poorly maintained.

Durbuy is certainly an old town. It was first mentioned in 1078 (as Dolbui) and in 1084 under its current name. In 1240, Durbuy was referred to as Durboius. The Celtic word 'Duron,' hidden in Durbuy, is interpreted as "fortress" in the town's context, and thus has the same root as the words deur (here also meaning gate) and door (door) in English. It's not the smallest town in the world. Nor is it the smallest town in Belgium, to elaborate on other comments. That honor goes to Mesen in West Flanders. In this neighborhood, you'll find a wealth of heritage from the oldest part of the town. This includes the castle (an older one stood there much earlier), some remains of the ramparts (see also the well and old walls), the remains of the monastery, the church (which was previously the monastery church), the corn exchange, and so on. In fact, the center of Durbuy itself is so small that almost everything is old. Durbuy received city rights in 1331 and was then also surrounded by walls (with several towers, as in any walled city). Also, take a walk to the information board at the remains of the well opposite the Anticline. On this board (titled "Le Rempart" – see photos), you'll read that you are now standing in front of a short section of the base of the ring wall and the top of the well that once supplied the walled city with water. There was once a tower here, the Medardus Tower, of which, unfortunately, no trace remains. Quite a few dolmens and megalithic stones have been discovered around Durbuy. But for those, you have to go to districts like Wéris. Roman and older remains are also plentiful.

I'm simply fascinated by this old town. The narrow streets, the beautiful half-timbered houses, and the small cafés create a very special atmosphere. Walking along the old cobblestones, you should really take your time to discover every little detail—whether it's a carved front door, a hidden corner, or a lovingly decorated window. Durbuy is cozy, quiet, and charming—exactly the kind of town I would always prefer to big cities. 🤩

Durbuy is a picturesque little town with beautiful little alleys and plenty of opportunities to stop for a drink and enjoy a Belgian beer. According to the town's own statement, it's the smallest town in the world; I'll definitely come back.
