3 things to see
Home to Belgium’s oldest belfry and a five-towered Romanesque cathedral, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Tournai is one of the country’s most historically layered cities. It flies under the tourist radar, which keeps prices well below Brussels or Bruges levels. The Grand Place, the riverside quays of the Scheldt, and the great cathedral exterior are all free to take in on foot. It sits a short, cheap train hop from Lille across the French border, making it an easy budget add-on to a Flanders or northern France trip.
