What is the best time for you to visit Durbuy depends entirely on the atmosphere you are looking for. For the active vacationer, late spring and early summer are absolute favorites. In May and June nature is in full bloom and the water in the Ourthe is usually high enough for kayaking, for example, while the big summer crowds have yet to get going. In the real summer months of July and August, the town bustles with energy with full terraces and open attractions such as the famous corn maze, although you should expect considerably more fellow tourists. If you prefer peace and natural beauty, autumn is a wonderful alternative. In October and November, the Ardennes forests transform into a palette of gold and red, making the countless hiking trails around town extra magical. Moreover, this is the gastronomic high season when local restaurants turn out game dishes and local produce. However, for those looking for pure romance and coziness, December is the month of choice. Despite the cold and crowds, the narrow, illuminated streets provide a fairy-tale experience that you won't find anywhere else like it.
