The Citadel of Namur stands in a prestigious setting, stretches out on 80 ha of greenery and offers superb views across the Meuse Valley. The Citadel of Namur, a major heritage site, was one of the largest fortresses in Europe.
Visit this exceptional site in Belgium thanks to the Citadel Pass that includes: a tourist train trip, Mediaeval walk (walk, exhibition "life at the castle", visit to the gardens), visit to the dungeons and a film on 2,000 years of history of this area.
With 7 kilometres of underground passages, the Citadel of Namur can take pride in having been the fortress with the largest European network of galleries.
A team of professional guides will be happy to show you around.
