Hiking

A beautiful, rocky old town, with pretty shops, pubs, alleys and cobblestones. You just have to take your time here and stroll through the alleys with your eyes open. I was totally blown away 🥰
I prefer such pretty small towns to any big city in the world. 🤗

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.

It is said that Durbuy in the Belgian Ardennes is the "smallest town in Belgium". Not far from the cities of Liège, Namur and Spa, Durbuy is one of the most visited medieval towns in Belgium. Last but not least, Durbuy owes this fact to its historically very attractive old town centre.
