FamxplorDowntown Namur
What to expect
Downtown Namur is a charming city located in the Belgian Region of Wallonia. It is a great combination of history, culture, leisure, and countryside. The city has a rich heritage, with many historic buildings, museums, and cultural events. Visitors can enjoy walking or canoeing in the lush countryside, sipping coffee on a sunny café terrace, or strolling through the pleasant streets along the river banks. The city also offers over 100km of cycle routes and footpaths, boat trips on the rivers, and many art galleries and museums. The citadel, a huge fortress on the strategic heights overlooking the confluence of the Rivers Meuse and Sambre, is a must-visit attraction. The city is also known for its culinary specialities, including snails and French fries, which were born in Namur. The city hosts a colourful festival in September, commemorating the Walloons who fought in the Belgian Revolution of 1830, with events including a 'battle' of knights in period costume on stilts, processions in traditional costume, and concerts
