Namur, the capital of Wallonia in Belgium, is strategically located at the confluence of the Meuse and Sambre rivers. Known for its medieval citadel, Baroque architecture, and rich military history, the city offers a blend of French-speaking culture and scenic riverfront views. Its charming old town is perfect for leisurely exploration.
The highlight is the Citadel of Namur, a historic fortress with panoramic views and a military museum. The old town features the ornate Saint-Aubain Cathedral, a Baroque masterpiece. The riverside promenades are ideal for strolls, while the Félicien Rops Museum showcases the provocative works of this Belgian artist.
Namur's cuisine reflects French and Walloon traditions. Must-try street foods include crispy waffles (Gaufres) and hard caramel biscuits (Couque de Dinant). Local restaurants serve classics like beer-braised beef (Carbonnade) and mussels with fries (Moules-frites). Pair your meal with a Belgian beer, preferably a local brew.
Public transport relies on TEC buses, covering the city and suburbs. Namur Station is a key hub for trains to Brussels, Liège, and beyond. The compact city center is walkable or bike-friendly, with taxis and bike-sharing (e.g., Villo!) available. Drivers should note narrow streets and parking restrictions in the old town.
The best times to visit are spring (April-June) and autumn (September-October), with mild weather and fewer crowds. Summers (July-August) are warm but busier. Winters are cold, but Christmas markets add festive charm.
French is the main language, but English is widely understood in tourist areas. Reliable Wi-Fi is available in cafes. Credit cards (Visa/Mastercard) are common, but cash is handy for small purchases. Dial 112 for emergencies. Pharmacies ("Pharmacie") usually operate from 9:00-18:00. The voltage is 230V with Type E plugs.
