The real Namur lives beyond the tourist trail. In the neighborhoods where locals actually spend their time, you'll find places like Jardins du Maieur that make a city worth knowing. Even around well-known spots like Citadel of Namur and Cathedral of Saint-Aubain, one street over the crowds disappear entirely.
The capital of Wallonia, set at the confluence of the Sambre and Meuse rivers beneath one of Europe's largest citadels.

Use this page as a starting point for a Namur walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Namur. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Most visitors come to Namur for the well-known history and nature attractions, but the most memorable moments happen off the main path. Side streets one block from Citadel of Namur, residential quarters, quiet courtyards — these are the parts of Namur that feel genuine. Places like Jardins du Maieur are the kind of spots locals would actually recommend.
Walk along the riverfront to the confluence, then climb to the citadel — or take the cable car up and walk down through the old town.
April through October. The Wallonia Festival in September brings music and events to the citadel.
