Arlon, capital of Belgian Luxembourg

Arlon is one of the oldest towns in Belgium, and stands near the source of the River Semois. Many archeological remains from the Gallo-Roman era (first to fourth centuries) have been unearthed here. Enjoy a stroll around the historic town centre, where the renovated, colourful houses in the St Donatus district surround the Vauban fortress, which enjoys panoramic views. Soak up the atmosphere of Arlon’s streets, squares and fine town houses, and admire its historic monuments. Enjoy a glass of maitrank (a locally produced apéritif) in one of the many bars or enjoy the best of Belgian gastronomy in a meal of local specialities. The Town Walks brochure helps visitors discover Arlon’s rich heritage in a series of trails.
