Frequently asked questions
Can I do this in the rain?
Yes — swap MUDAM for the National Museum of History and Art (Fischmaart, $7), and stick to the covered arcades in Ville Haute. The casemates are largely underground anyway.
Where should I base myself for one night?
Ville Haute — Hotel Simoncini or Vauban put you 5 minutes from everything on the itinerary above.
