After finishing the visit of the Dinant fortress, we will have free time to have lunch and try the local food. We will take a train again and, in just 20 minutes, we will be in Namur, the capital of Wallonia. We will take a tour of its historic center and go up in a funicular to its Citadel, better known as "one of the largest in Europe".
