Mons
Mons is the capital of Hainaut province in Belgium's Walloon Region. At its center is the Grand Place, a large cobblestone square dotted with cafes. It's lined with buildings in a mix of architectural styles, notably the centuries-old Town Hall. Nearby is the 17th-century baroque belfry, with sweeping city views. The belfry is on the edge of verdant Parc Château, home to the 11th-century Saint-Calixte Chapel.
