Question 1

Where should I stay near the Spa-Francorchamps circuit?

Accepted Answer

Holiday homes and chalets around Spa, Francorchamps, Stavelot and Malmedy are the closest to the circuit, just a few minutes by car. For a Grand Prix or another race, book several months ahead: properties in the area go quickly and prices climb over those weekends.

Question 2

How much does a holiday home in Spa cost?

Accepted Answer

A small holiday home or chalet for two to four people costs an average of 80 to 140 euros a night around Spa. During race weekends at Spa-Francorchamps, rates rise noticeably. Booking early remains the best way to have a choice.

Question 3

When is the best time for a stay in Spa?

Accepted Answer

Spa is worth a visit all year round. Summer suits walks in the hills and days at the thermal baths. Autumn colours the forests around the town. In winter, the closeness of the High Fens makes snowshoe walks through a snowy landscape possible.

Question 4

What is there to do in and around Spa?

Accepted Answer

The Thermes de Spa, walking and cycling in the hills, a lap of the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit and a trip to the nearby waterfalls of Coo. The High Fens and the town of Malmedy are also a short drive away.

Question 5

Can I bring my dog to a holiday home in Spa?

Accepted Answer

Many holiday homes around Spa accept dogs. The wooded hills and the trails towards the High Fens are perfect for walks, with plenty of shade on warmer days. Check when booking whether the garden is fenced and whether any house rules apply to pets.

Question 6

Can you visit the Thermes de Spa without staying at the hotel?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Thermes de Spa, on the Annette et Lubin hill, are open to everyone with a day ticket. From the centre a funicular takes you up in two minutes. At weekends and during school holidays it's best to book online, as the indoor and outdoor pools at 32 degrees are popular. Three hours is enough for most visitors.

Question 7

How far is Spa from Brussels and Liège?

Accepted Answer

Spa lies about 140 kilometres from Brussels: via the E40 and then the E42, allow around 1 h 30. Liège is 35 minutes away, Maastricht and Aachen a good hour. Spa also has its own railway station, handy for arriving without a car. On race days at Francorchamps, expect traffic on the approach roads.

Question 8

Is Spa a good destination with children?

Accepted Answer

More so than you might think. Plopsa Coo with its waterfall is twenty minutes away, and around Lake Warfaaz you can pedal a boat and take a stroll. The woods around Spa are full of waymarked family walks that pass the springs. Combine a morning at the baths for the parents with an afternoon at Coo for the children.
