Lovely citadel on the high grounds of Namur. Panormaic views of the Meuse river and the Namur area is the highlight of the visit. But if you visit the perfume shop and the chef's college on the doorstep of the citadelle, it will expand your horizons. And we would like to thank Yves who showed us around on the lovely... More

If you want to keep boys happy ( aged 2-92) then this is a really good way to spend a few hours.This is a huge and quite amazing fortress. It dates back to the middle ages, though most of it is 17th century. It is great to walk around and there are wonderful views and there is quite a lot... More

This is a must see for anyone visiting Namur. Quite simply it's an outstanding example of a citadel and the views from the top are breathtaking. You can see all over the city in every direction as well as fantastic views of the river and riverside. If you are energetic walk up. Otherwise take the shuttle or drive up in... More

The citadel is strechted, you can spend at least half a day here wandering around. A few walking routes are provided. At the top you have a panoramic view over the city.

A walk through history. Worthwhile visiting the underground passages and walking around the Citadel. Although it was a wet season, we enjoyed nice views over the city.

Really facinating place to visit and the food at the top is delicious too. From time to time there are nice little shops that pop up there too, I bought a lovely little oil painting!

Great walk and good views. Second time in Namur, and we went up the citadel especially to find the bar at the top as we had good memories of drinking Kriek a few years before. For some reason we missed it and ended up on a 4 hour trek through the woods. Had a great time though !

We didn't pay for any of the exhibitions and simply wondered around the citadel taking in the history and the views. This took us a good half day and was interesting. The citadel has some very interesting sights/views, but could do with more English signs. There is am excellent viewarama overlooking the old town that should be seen. A good... More
