Citadelle de Dinant
A fortress that watches over the city, Citadelle de Dinant stands on the site of a fort that was constructed in 1051. The citadel blends with the cliff face on which it sits, complete with a grassy roof, so, from a distance, it's difficult to see. However, once inside, a huge interior courtyard and a museum offer visitors a glimpse back in time. Climb the 400-plus steps leading to the entrance, or save your energy and ride a cable car to the top. In the museum, learn about the fortress' history with life-size figurines in dioramas, as well as traditional museum exhibits. Go up the stairs to the upper walls of the citadel for a view over the Meuse Valley. Purchase your tickets when you arrive; the attraction is rarely crowded. Put Citadelle de Dinant and other Dinant attractions into our Dinant travel app, and watch your holiday take shape.

Interesting exhibitions. Well laid out. Recreated WWI trench is particularly good. Shame about the grumpy woman selling the tickets.

The citadel is very strong strategic rocky construction on the top of the mountain with strong historic heritage, inside citadel you can visit 14 meaningful historic spots and the museum is very impressive they used visual and acoustic sound to make the impression of that days tragedies that had taken place. The citadel tour has also an option with combo to go for boat trip which was a nice choice. You can combine and enjoy the boat with nice atmosphere

Dinant is a very small but interesting city. This is where Adolphe Sax, the inventor of the saxophone, was born, so that's why you will see saxophones around all the city! The main place to visit is the Citadel just above the city. You can either buy a ride with the funicular or climb with the 400+ steps to access it. (You have to buy the ticket to enter). It is a nice place to spend a day, visit the Citadel, the cathedral, and take a beer near the river. You will not regret it!
