The citadel of Namur is one of the largest citadels in Europe. Its vast network of underground passages earned it the nickname "The termite mound of Europe" by Napoleon I. A must-see place with a magnificent view of the Meuse Valley.

Hiking

Actually, the whole long outer wall is a huge viewpoint. Just walk along it and enjoy the wonderful views over the river and the city.
