[2024 Dinant Attraction] Travel Guide for Dinant Citadel (Updated Nov)

My Experiences & Feedback of Citadel of Dinant

#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.

Dinant - charming little town in Belgium

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

Mushroom Jun's European Travel Belgium, Dinant City Dinan City in the Alpine Region of southern Belgium, Citadelle Castle is built on a hill, located on a cliff up to 100 meters, overlooking The Meuse River passes through the town. Overlooking the town, we met the owner of the castle, Baron Marc de Villenfagne. This may be one of my contacts with the European nobility. The first feeling is: The baron is very kind and has a long leg. The Baron led us to visit his castle, such as the fully automatic cable car built by his father, which is rare in all of Belgium; the armory, underground bunkers and cannons inside the castle; Dinan Cathedral below. Because Citadelle Castle is very famous, it was requested by the government to open to the public. As the owner of the castle, the baron also has a responsibility to introduce the history of Dinant to the delegations of various countries. For the nobility, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Privately asked the baron a question, "Where do you go if you bring friends to play Dinant?" The baron recommended a Chateau de Veves, which is full of memories of his childhood. Drive to the sunset and the fallen leaves, the castle seems to be coated with a golden light. It opens every weekend from March to November and opens every day from July 15th to August 31st. If you arrive in Dinant, remember to check it out.
