Namur & Dinant

Namur / Dinant:

Namur and Dinant are two jewels in the region of Wallonia in Belgium. Namur is a bigger province and Dinant much smaller one. My visit to Dinant is the second time , but this time more concentrated on city and not anywhere else.
Dinant is a small town, the main parts of the place are the Citadel, the river Meuse flowing and the breath taking view of Ardennes. The tour on the Citadel is a worth a visit one time. We can reach the top of Citadel by stairs or through cable cars. By stairs is a bit tiring, but yet worth the effort.
The tour around Citadel had a good spot which was called the crooked room, that shows the entire room in a crooked manner , at one point it looked fun, but it was mostly making my head spin. But a different experience.We have an amazing view of the town and valley from the citadel. It also hosts amazing collection of after war effects .
Dinant also is the place of Adolphe Sax , there are museum of Mr.Sax's developement and the bridge over Meuse consists of a lot of Saxophone that are colored and give a good feeling to the town.

Namur:
The much bigger province in Wallonia , Namur is huge and very famous for the Meuse river and the citadel again. We had a change only to visit the citadel which was a good drive up the mountains and a breath taking view of the city entirely. There is a rose garden up the citadel which really smells good of Rose and its perfume. We did not spend a lot of time there and rather munched upon the ice creams and a walk by the river.
