Namur

Namur: a citadel between Sambre and Meuse

The city of Namur and its citadel are inevitably a big attraction when it comes to this region, but it has many other treasures within its borders.
An impregnable citadel located atop the city, this building, which is anchored on a rocky outcrop, dazzles arrivals to Namur, where it can be seen from every corner of the city. This exceptional heritage site has kept the traces of each period and invites you to discover two thousand years of urban and military history. These traces of the past are told through a dynamic and educational staging and a visit to discover more than 500 meters of restored galleries.
But it would be a shame to limit your visit of the city to simply discovering the Citadel. Its very pleasant city center, with its old buildings and charming squares, its numerous museums, and its cruises will allow you to discover Namur and the Meuse valley differently.

Dinant—another major city in the region that is known for its citadel and cruises—entices with its spectacular layout, its impressive rocks, its verdant nature, and its location on the banks of the river
During your visit to this city, don't forget that it is the home of the famous inventor of instruments, Adolphe Sax, to taste the mythical couque de Dinant, and to take a cruise along the Meuse to Freÿr.

Brasseries, chocolate shops, shops selling snails, mustards, or ostriches—the region of Namur teems with small local producers who still work in a traditional way, carrying on the expertise of their ancestors. Learn more about the region by taking a guided tour of these producers and sampling their products.

Namur offers exceptional cultural and natural heritage! Judge for yourself: historic abbeys like Floreffe and Maredsous, castles from the Middle Ages, such as those of Vêves and Freÿr, and the famous caves of Han and its animal park offer a magical encounter with nature.
