Take the Luxembourg bound train to Libramont and then the bus number 8 to Bouillon on the River Semois. Stay at the Hotel Panorama overlooking river, town, castle and hills.

Listen to the town carillon play the Ode to Joy. The walking in the river valley and on wooded hills is wonderful and the food in the town is excellent. Return, if you can, on bus 45 to Bertrix for spectacular views of the Semois, tiny villages and the hills. Take the train from Bertrix to Libramont and then back to Brussels.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14713 Get a free trip courtesy of Eurostar http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14682 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14682 The hidden benefits of a Eurostar ticket http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14658 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14658 Get full value from your Eurostar tickets http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14653 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14653 Avoid Brussels Midi station http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14645 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14645 Over 65s travel http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14252 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14252
