Spa

Spa lies in the wooded valley of the Wayai in the Ardennes, where mineral springs emerge among the rolling forests of eastern Wallonia. The town gave its name to the word “spa” and has attracted visitors to its iron-rich waters for centuries. In the centre, the Pouhon Pierre-le-Grand is one of Spa’s best-known springs, named after Tsar Peter the Great, who visited in 1717. Spa is among the Great Spa Towns of Europe inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2021. The Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, a leading motorsport venue, stands in the surrounding Ardennes.
