Private Walking Tour in Namur
Indulge yourself in the romantic atmosphere veiling the picturesque city of Namur, standing at the scenic confluence of the Sambre and Meuse rivers and home to many significant monuments from the late Middle Ages, including the former seat of the Parliament of Wallonia marking the historic founding of the Belgian federation in the 19th century, the Neo-Renaissance gem of the Stock Market which is the 20th-century symbol of Namur’s robust economy, the Belfry Of Namur – one of 56 belfries in Belgium and France which were recognized by UNESCO, the charming meeting point of the Angel Square featuring the historic Angel's Pump from the 18th century, Saint-Loup Catholic Church - one of the most beautiful Baroque buildings in Belgium, and the elegant 18th-century Old Town Hall.

(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
The tour begins at the romantic L’Enjambée Footbridge (Marry Footbridge) at the foot of Namur Citadel, which spans the picturesque Meuse River to “marry” the dynamic Villa Balat of Jambes and the pretty Grognon of Namur. The footbridge with a delicate design seamlessly blending in with the scenic natural landscapes provides you with the breathtaking views of the majestic citadel and glittering cityscapes.
Then, admire the former seat of Parliament of Wallonia next to the bridge. Standing out among the waterfront, the monument captivates any passer-by with its striking red shade and interests them with its long history, from a 12th-century charity hospital to a politically strategic setting marking the founding of the Belgian federation.
Continue to cross the Museum Bridge over the Sambre River, leading to the economic center of Namur. Immediately, your eyes will be caught by the splendid Neo-Renaissance façade of the former Stock Market, the 20th-century symbol of Namur’s robust economy. Don’t forget to check out the iconic sculpture “Djoseph & Françwès” on its left side, portraying two famous cartoon characters with their pet snails on leash; otherwise, they will run loose as the living pace of Namur is too laid-back.
