Benelux is the region comprising of Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.

Cultural Attractions
 In the four-border region of Belgium, Germany, France, The Netherlands and the Grand-Duche of Luxembourg, there exists a multitude of opportunities for cultural exchange. Belgium offers a tourist information bureau, "Office du Tourisme", which is located in every main city of the country. These offices provide information on sights, events, concerts, festivals and more. Newcomers should visit the Mons Tourism Office early in their tour.

People with an interest in the Arts will be quite surprised by the treasures they will find in the Benelux. The wealth in which these countries has to offer is completely out of proportion with its small size. Eight centuries of intense activity in the Arts has filled the Benelux region with treasures.

The Benelux offers a perpetual spectacle of folklore and merriment. Carnivals, ancient customs and commemorations of historic and legendary happenings bring celebrations throughout the year to the towns and villages. We recommend that you pick up a calendar of tourist events from the tourism office on the Grand Place of Mons.
