NAMUR TRAVEL GUIDE
Where the Meuse River meets the Sambre River, Namur rises beneath an imposing medieval citadel at their confluence. The city’s calm waterways conceal a long military past, while its leafy parks and compact, walkable centre make it easy to explore. As capital of Wallonia and of Namur Province, it also boasts a lively food scene that encourages visitors to savour their way through the city.
