April 3, 2022 Fernanda Pittenger

Take the train from Brussels and in less than an hour you'll arrive in Namur, the capital of Wallonia overflowing with charm and intimate little streets made for walking, shopping and people watching. Around every corner are quaint tea rooms, antique storefronts, jewelry stores, and boutique shop, but don’t let the size fool you, Namur is also a fashion city with classic and trendy deals. Namur must-sees include Namur Citadel, Felicien Rops Museum, Museum of Ancient Namur Arts, Chateau d'Annevoie, and the Museum of Groesbeeck de Croix.

Citadelle (Citadel)

Reviewed By karanvivek - Evere, Belgium

Beautiful castle .. with wonderful view from every level Best way to explore castle is by foot (walk up), stay at every level (there are plenty of sitting spaces here and there) There are car parking at the highest level and at a level below (just next to Parfumes of Namur shop) One can easily spend whole day here .. there is a museum, an expo and small yet beautiful shop, cafe and train ride, small kids play area and plenty of open space to sit around and relax

Parc Attractif Reine Fabiola

Reviewed By travelguideinfo - Antwerp Province, Belgium

Went here after visiting the Citadel! First of all it is a must place to visit if you have e children. The entry cost is €9 but worth it to spend time and relax whilst your children enjoys all the outdoor activities. The mini golf has 18 holes and is perfect as well as a family activity. I highly recommend this place!

Musee de la Fraise

Discover the strawberry in all its forms. Through four thematic spaces that present its history, its gastronomy, its place in culture and art and its agricultural production. Stroll through our 1/2 ha didactic garden dedicated to little fruits and the orchard. Taste our fruits in the plant! We also have a shop of crafts products with strawberries!

Cosy, small museum about history of strawberries and Wepion strawberry cultivation traditions. The hosts are very friendly, the host explained everything very interestingly and gave plenty of recommendations about "must sees" in the region. And yes, he knows a lot about strawberries, and Wepion's history. The visit to the museum lasts some 20-25 minutes, and you can also taste some strawberry- based products (juice, etc.). You can buy tickets i advance (via internet), or at place. There is a nice souvenirs' corner too. We also liked very much the garden (which is a part of the museum), on the other side of the road - you can see famous Belgian strawberry varieties ("Joly"), wine grapes, raspberries, blackberries, figs, mulberries, small orchard of ornamented apple/pear trees, even exotic fruits corner. some 800 m. away there is a "strawberry" kiosk , you can buy strawberries there (decently priced) . In front of "strawberry" kiosk (you cant miss it - it is plastic "strawberry" booth, near parking along the Moselle river) there is an Ice Cream restaurant - "Fleur de lait". It is open during Corona-pandemic, they let 3 persons at a time. The taste is just "the best", and, of course, they serve strawberry ice cream too (sorbet de la fraise). If you pass by, of have spare time after the visit to Namur - dont miss the museum1
