Located in the heart of Belgium and the official capital of Wallonia and the province of Hainaut, Mons offers a fascinating history that rivals its compelling beauty. Formed as a fortified city in the 12th Century by Count Baldwin IV of Hainaut, Mons has witnessed economic growth and architectural marvels, from thriving trade in the Grand'Place to the city's enchanting main square.

The city's history has been etched by the harsh strokes of war as well, having been the site of the Battle of Mons in 1914 and enduring occupation during the World Wars. Nevertheless, Mons has risen from the ashes to become an influential university and commercial hub. Today, it hosts an array of sports teams, cultural events, and is noted for having been chosen as one of the European Capitals of Culture in 2015.

When to visit Mons

While Mons bathes in the warmth of its typical Belgian oceanic climate, the most pleasant months to visit this historic city fall between June and August, when temperatures peak around a soothing 24.4°C. Early spring, between March and May, is also an optimal time to explore Mons, as rain and snow are less likely to occur.

However, if your taste leans towards the tranquil and you wish to dodge the bustling crowds of spring and summer, aim to visit in December. The temperate chill adds a sparkle to Mons' cobblestones and the lack of crowds allows for more intimate explorations. Regardless of the season, Mons, with its grand squares brimming with cafés and a colourful flurry of local events, promises an unforgettable Belgian sojourn.
