2025 Dinant Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#familytrips2024 #vianasjourney Even though Walzin Castle is not open for public to enter but many visitors take the chance to admire this castle from afar. For me, the best to do it is by the river. The space area is open for public to picnic on the side. You can walk closer to the castle through the river as well. Another option is to kayak through Lisse River. You can easily find kayak rental nearby if you don’t have your own. If you are not fan of those, take the walking trail across the river and enjoy the sight of the castle while enjoying the nature surrounding. It’s definitely worth to visit.

#familytrips2024 #vianasjourney Located at the top of the hill above Gothic Collegiate Church of Our Lady, you can imagine how high the stairs that you have to climb up. The stairs area are small for both people going up and down at the same time. But considering that it was a fortress before, I can understand the reason of such a small pathway. There’s a cable car to access the top but it’s slow and small in size, the capacity can only take small amount of visitors in one trip, so the que is pretty long from going up and coming down. The place that you are allowed to visit up there is not a lot, so I hope you don’t expect much. Cafe and playground available, same for souvenirs shop as well. WC are available for 50cents, so bring your change. If you are lazy to climb or ride the cable car, you should look up how to reach the citadel by cars to the top as I saw plenty of cars parked next to the citadel.

We stopped in the Belgian city of Dinant on my way from Luxembourg to the airport in Brussels. Dinant is a small, quaint Belgian town - saxophones line the Charles de Gaulle Bridge and decorate the city, celebrating Adolphe Sax, the Belgian inventor of the saxophone, who was born in Dinant. The most notable views while walking around the main part of the city are the massive Citadel of Dinant and the impressive gothic Notre Dame de Dinant. And of course, when in Belgium, do not miss a chance to try those famous and delicious Belgian mussels! #europe #belgium #belgiumfood #dinant #musiccity

Stayed at this hotel for one night. The hotel itself was really good value and our room was clean and comfortable with a great view of the River Meuse. Was given an upgrade of room with a view of River Meuse which was excellent! The bar with terrace overlooking the balcony was also beautiful as it was overlooking the river. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. Dinant is a beautiful little city so it is well worth visiting. #dinant #dinanttravel #belgium #ibisdinantcentre

Dinant is a city and municipality of Wallonia located in the province of Namur, Belgium. This city on the Meuse River is in an incredibly picturesque spot, squeezed between the water and the high valley walls. To the east is an insurmountable wall of limestone that has long made Dinant an attractive place for armies to gain a foothold on the Meuse. That cliff is still topped by a citadel, above the distinctive 16th-centuy onion dome of the Collegiate Church. A charming town with beautiful scenery and a nice place to stay for at least a night to relax and enjoy the views. #dinant #dinanttravel #belgiumroadtrip #belgium #belgiumroadtrip

Dinant, Belgium Dinant, Belgium is the hometown of saxophone, and also the birthplace of Mr. SAX. Although Dinant is a small town, the whole town is full of strong attraction. When you walk in the alleys, the residents you meet will greet you in French without exception: Bonjour. Having visited many small towns in Europe and Japan, this is one of the few that makes tourists feel at home.

The scenery here has already surpassed Bruges and Ghent in my mind (of course, Bruges and Ghent are also very beautiful). But the beauty of Dinant is the beauty of the French-speaking region, which is somewhat different from the scenery of the Dutch-speaking region. Dinant is a small town on the Meuse River in the French-speaking southern part of Belgium. From Namur, take a small train all the way south, and the scenery along the way is of water towns until you approach the border between Belgium and France.

#familytrips2024 #vianasjourney Known for it’s pear shaped bell tower, this catholic church located just below the Citadel of Dinant. The entrance is located on the left side with small door into the church. Entrance did not require any fee but you may give donations especially to light up candles (it can be found in the church itself). Inside the church shows 4 corners occupied with 3 corners for sitting and the other corner is the main altar. In the middle itself built a slightly higher (with small stairs) pedestal for the preacher, it built so everyone able to see. While in the city, take the chance to visit, especially if you have extra time.

The city area decorated with plenty of saxophones which labeled with names of different countries, not just European countries but I also saw some from other countries such Japan and China. Good to know that this city is actually a birthplace of Adolphe Sax, an inventor of saxophones. I saw plenty of tour boat touring on the Meuse River and it seems that visitors can easily buy ticket on the side of the river. I went on Ascension Day but it still possible to find free parking space around the city which is pretty convenient.

#fallingseason Really good place and good choice to come and see the historic place from ww1 museum. Not much tourist here.

Dinant is a town located in the province of Namur in the Wallonia region of Belgium. The train ride from Brussels takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes, with a change of train in Namur. There is a bronze statue here. It is of Charles de Gaulle, the famous and victorious French general in World War I. He was wounded and stayed in this town at the time. The statue was erected in his memory. But this town is famous because a man named Sax invented the saxophone, and this instrument happened to be popular all over the world, so this town became very famous. Many saxophone sculptures donated by various countries were erected on its main bridge. The saxophones of each country have their own characteristics, of course there are also Chinese ones (but I don’t know where that photo went 😓) #Belgium #Dinant #Saxophone

Dinant is enriched by the agricultural opportunities offered by the fertile land on the plateau that overlooks it. Within the city, the production of brassware is a traditional craft that benefits from the presence of a wide and, at this point, easily navigable river that facilitates the delivery of raw materials and the distribution of the finished product to the artisans’ workshops. Another traditional source of wealth is the limestone cliffs that overlook the city, which support a high-end quarrying industry, producing black marble and bluestone, and distribution also benefits from the proximity of a relatively wide and deep river.

Dinant is a small town on the banks of the Meuse River and is situated in a valley. It is famous for its beautiful nature and its distinctive old town on the river, which is 90 km from Belgium and 20 km from France. This village is the home of Adolphe Sax, the creator of the saxophone, so there are saxophones all over the town. It is a small town with a very nice atmosphere.
