 It's lonely in First Class by lmkluque
Traveling by train is fun, relaxing and efficient. There are several ticket options and of course the Eurail Pass is a traveler's best bet.
The train station is more practical in design than "old world" charming. You'll feel immersed in the local culture here as it doesn't cater to "tourists" as one might find in more popular destinations.
Most of the amenities can be found here, a small restaurant/bar, bus and taxi stations out side and a place to store luggage for a few days at a reasonable price are among them. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

 Just outside of the Town
Center by lmkluque
The center of Mons is a small area ringed by roads that were once the walls of the city. Many of the narrow streets in the older section of town are not car friendly and there are parking restrictions that make driving in this section less efficient. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

If however, you are too tired, you can use one of the free buses that drive around the city centre. Just ask for the 'Intramuros' buses.
There are 2 different routes. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Coming with the train will allow you to look at the beautiful wall of the big hall of the station that you see on the picture! It is a representation of the tradition of Mons : the ducasse! Leave a Comment Theme: Train

From the Belgian capital Brussels you have 2 trains an hour during weekdays.
( 1 each hour during weekends)
The trip takes about 55 minutes.
The train station in Mons is only a 10 minutes' walk from the city centre. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

Thanks to TEC transportation company in Mons, you have at your disposal free busses to circulate inside the town! So forget about the car and enjoy it! There are two circuits coverings almost every places you would wish to go to!!!!! Main stop : square in front of the train station....and if you are already on the way and see one bus coming, you just have to make a sign and the bus will stop for you if it is not full!

By train : direct trains from Brussels
By car : highway E19 direction Mons/Paris (in the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium, the city of 'Mons' is indicated on highway signs as 'Bergen') Mons lies at about 65 km from Brussels. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Map of Mon's Center by lmkluque
Though I must walk with a cane, I chose to walk to the Grand Place when my friends were busy or at work.
I stayed in a home one mile from the center of town, it took me over an hour, but a normal walker could cover the same distance in fifteen minutes or less.
There are many walking-only streets around the Grand Place and many interesting things to see along the way. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

They have a free bus that travels around the town just hop on and off. It looked cool but I never used it. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

The city is not too large so if you are not in a hurry, you can take time to walk from the train station to the center of Mons.
Otherwise, little free buses that stop everywhere may help to visit the city. They are frequent and follow two itineraries. Take them from train station as well. They are free. Yellow buses are for long distance. Free buses are the white ones. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus
