Ronse Travel Guide
Set among gentle hills near Belgium’s linguistic frontier, Ronse is often called the ‘queen of the Flemish Ardennes’. Despite its modest size, the town is strikingly cosmopolitan, with residents from almost 90 nationalities—a diversity rooted in its former textile industry. Today, Ronse is distinguished by its remarkable medieval crypt, a legacy of weaving craftsmanship and notable Art Deco architecture.
