Namur Travel Guide

Capital of Belgium's Wallonia, where the Meuse and Sambre meet, famed for its hilltop citadel.

📍 Destination Overview

Namur, capital of Belgium's Walloon Region, lies at the confluence of the Meuse and Sambre, its name meaning “confluence” in Celtic. The hilltop Citadel is the landmark, reached by cable car for views over the two rivers and a cobbled old town. The Félicien Rops Museum displays the Belgian artist's work, blending waterways, fortress and Walloon culture.
