Full Day Excursion to Dinant and Namur from Brussels

Our guided tour of Dinant will begin at the Charles de Gaulle Bridge, where huge saxophones stand. And it is that this instrument was created by the famous Adolphe Sax, who was born precisely here. In his honour, Dinant organizes an international jazz competition every November.

We will visit the picturesque historic center of Dinant, with the Collegiate Church of Our Lady, in Mosan Gothic style. Its bulbous bell tower from the 16th century is very characteristic, contrasting with the rocky slopes located just behind. Inside, there are several pictorial works by Antoine Wiertz.

Located in a strategic place, it not only served as a refuge: it also protected the city. Its architecture reflects the passage of illustrious armies. Do not forget to take an unforgettable photo of your trip! To conclude the first part of the trip,

Adolphe Sax's house

The Citadel of Namur, which we can go up to visit and, at the same time, we can enjoy some of the best panoramic views of Belgium.

Our guided tour of the historic center of Namur will start in the city center, our local guide will guide you through its picturesque streets. Of course, in the distance, the Citadel will always watch over us, which houses the bronze sculpture by Jan Fabre entitled The Search for Utopia.

Our tour will take us to the Baroque Church of Saint Loup. There we can admire its confessionals and its carved vaults and columns, a source of local pride.

In the Plaza de Armas, in front of the Palacio de Congresos, a bronze sculpture reminds us of the city's traditions and folklore. The namurenses have a reputation for being slow and therefore their symbol is the snail. Two gastropods are represented here alongside Djoseph and Françwès, the main characters of caricaturist Jean Legrand, who slowly wander through the streets of Namur, worried about the rain and the sun.
