Where can I buy my lunch in Mons?
The most cost-effective solution is to buy your meals or sandwiches at one of the university’s restaurants.
- About €3.75 for a hot meal at Plaine de Nimy, or Cité Houzeau.
- About €2.80 for a sandwich at Plaine de Nimy, Cité Houzeau or Waroqué.
I need an ambulance or the police, firefighter, etc. for an emergency!
Call 112, you will quickly be connected with an agent that will assess your needs. If you call for a medical emergency in 90% of the cases, they will send an ambulance, which will cost you less than €80 (it is a fixed fee). Notice that you’ll have to provide your current position to the agent.
I need to contact the police for a non-urgent motive.
Call 101, you will be put on hold until you get an agent.
I feel bad, I need to talk to someone.

Often cool and wet, therefore be prepared and bring a jacket. You may encounter some snow during the winter or even during the spring, however, it does not last long.
