About Renting a Car at Durbuy Barvaux-sur-Ourthe

Barvaux-sur-Ourthe is the gateway to Durbuy, the world's smallest city, located in the heart of the Ardennes 120 km south of Brussels.

From there, you can pick up your rental car directly at the station. What trips can I make by car from Durbuy/Barvaux? Han-sur-Lesse Caves (45 km), Bastogne War Museum (60 km), and Spa-Francorchamps racetrack (50 km) are all excellent day trips.

Are the roads in the Ardennes difficult to drive? The roads are winding and hilly but well-maintained. Avoid large vehicles on the narrowest valley roads and exercise extra caution in ice and snow during winter.
