Nestled between the Sambre and the Meuse, Namur is an ideal destination for tourism, full of character and able to charm you in the blink of an eye.
The city of Namur
Whether you are passing through for a few hours or staying for longer, make the most of it to discover our beautiful city of Namur. Its range of attractions and rich history guarantee an unforgettable visit.
The Citadel
A true symbol of the city, the Citadel of Namur stands proudly at the confluence of the two rivers. A heritage and historical site not to be missed by any visitor. Take a breathtaking panoramic view from the esplanade, and enjoy a walk or guided tour, or take part in one of the many events it hosts throughout the year. The cherry on top, the Circus Casino Resort is located at the bottom of the rock. You can choose to climb to the top of the rock in less than 15 minutes on foot, or to go to the city center to take the cable car.
Along the water
What would a city next to water be without nautical fun? In boats, speedboats, or on board the typical Namourettes, treat yourself to a little cruise along the Meuse and Sambre. In summer, you can also hire high-quality equipment to give sports like paddle, kayaking or canoeing a go. There is something for all tastes and budgets.

A journey along the RAVeL
If you prefer walking on solid ground, opt for soft mobility. The quays and the RAVeL are reserved for pedestrians. On foot, on a bike, or on a horse, discover or rediscover the city at your own pace. Don’t have your bike with you? No problem, you can hire one from Li Bia Velo or ProVelo, for example. You can also hire an electric bike or get on board a rickshaw for an even more relaxing journey. Discover the best bike rides on the VISITWallonia website.
The Circus Casino Resort is also certified Bienvenue Vélo (Bikes Welcome), a label that guarantees compliance with rigorous criteria designed to meet the needs of cyclists. This label ensures cyclists receive top-quality services and facilities throughout their stay.
Shopping a stone’s throw from the Resort
With more than 800 businesses, markets and flea markets, the city center will delight both curious shoppers and avid shopping fans. The city of Namur has a varied commercial offer, made up of big brands as well as small independent shops and local businesses. A few steps from the Circus Casino Resort, the pedestrian zone is the perfect and unique place to discover boutiques and restaurants.
