One of the greatest place to visit in Belgium is The citadel of Namur. You can enjoy the wonderful view from above of the city of Namur. Also there are a fantastic free museums, and restuarants where you can enjoy a cup of coffee or a belgian beer.

The citadel of Namur is divided into three parts Donjon, representing the lower part, Median for the intermediate part and Terra Nova for the upper part. Its summit is 190 m high.

Built on an impressive rocky spur, this exceptional heritage site has conserved traces of each period of its 2000-year-old history. Once a residence for the Counts of Namur in the Middle Ages, then transformed into a holiday home by King Leopold II, it is now a sought-out location for events, guided visits and walks in a verdant surrounding with spectacular views over the city.
