Durbuy, the smallest city in the world

Sunday, August 22, 2010

Durbuy is a Belgian city in the province of Luxembourg. It is located on the banks of the Ourthe River in the Ardennes region. Durbuy describes itself as being the smallest city in the world. They lost claims to this title when it joined with a number of surrounding communities into a single commune in 1977. According to the Guinness Book of World Records the smallest city in the world today is Hum in Croatia.
Nevertheless, Durbuy is a popular destination in Belgium for its adventure activities like kayaking, rock-climbing, cave exploration and many more. Main attraction in the centre is the Parc des Topiaires, a garden with beautiful shaped box trees. The city has also a castle(last photo) which is not open for visitors.
