Namur - The Capital of Wallonia

 

Nestling at the confluent of the Sambre and the Meuse rivers, the Capital of Wallonia invites you to come and explore, stroll around, relax or enjoy an adventure!  You are sure to be captivated by its generosity, its gastronomy, its rich heritage and folklore.

 

Picturesque, medieval Namur is overlooked by a sprawling hilltop citadel that has helped to protect its people during their turbulent past.  Together they have transcended many ages! It is nowadays a hot spot for guided tours, events and walks through a green setting offering spectacular views of the city. The site will be shortly connected to the city-centre by a brand new cable-car (2020).

 

The squares and cobbled streets of the town centre are lined with shops and an impressive clutch of restaurants. Namur is also a perfect gateway to the lush forests and rolling plains of the Ardennes.
