Above all else, on arrival in the town centre you will see a building on top of which is a UNESCO heritage Belfry; a major tourist attraction in Mons. Ok, so that�s all rather lovely, but where is the Youth Hostel? Ah well, you�re there�not bad, huh?
At 100 m from the Grand Place and the main shopping streets, the hostel is a new building, with all modern facilities. It is also right in the middle of all major events in the city. For example, the famous \'Doudou\' procession passes right in front of the hostel. Don�t miss the opportunity to celebrate the slaying of the dragon!
