Namur

Overview

Introduction

Namur, the capital of Wallonia, straddles the Meuse and Sambre Rivers at the gateway to the Ardennes. An impressive citadel with 27 towers, it looms over the town from a cliff-top site. The citadel has a weapons museum, underground chambers and a scenic (and strategic) view of the surrounding countryside. The town has a nice cathedral (St. Alban's), a casino and a number of small museums (our favorite is the Groesbeeck de Croix Museum). Namur is 40 mi/64 km southwest of Brussels.
