Get around

Namur is a quite large city therefore it is difficult to discover it on foot. The system of streets of the city is complex so it is not easy to find one’s way about. Apparently cycling is not too popular with the locals, probably due to the many cobbled streets. On the other hand cyclists are given access to many, so they enjoy special privileges.

 

Sights

The most popular object attracting tourists is the citadel. It is on a hill over the river Meuse (Dutch: Maas) and is open for visitors. The Museum of Old Namurois Art, a collection of Medieval and Renaissance Christian art is also worth seeing. The Archaeological Museum mostly exhibits artifacts from Roman Namur. The largest part of the city centre is beautiful, and is built in a French style.

The treasure of Hugo d'Oignies must be seen in any case.

 

 

Do

Cycling up and through the Citadel. A network of mountain bike itineraries begins and ends in Namur.

A tour company (Les Kayaks Bleus, www.lessekayaks.be) organises river kayaking trips in a neighbouring town, Dinant. Apparently it is no trouble to paddle downstream all the way to Holland and the North Sea.
