                                                 tips
                        The Namur Tourist Office welcomes you in compliance with the security
                        measures. Here are some good tips before you get started:

                                                                                                   © Ph. Piraux
                        Before travelling:
                         • Check the colour codes by country.
                         • Learn about the testing procedure, quarantine and the Passenger
                           Locator Form (PLF).
                         • Think of booking your stay and tourist activities in Wallonia online.
                         • Preferably contact the provider of an attraction or accommodation to
                           find out the reception conditions.
                         • Take your good habits with you wherever you go:
                        				 - Disinfect your hands.
                        				 - Respect the physical distancing of 1.50 m.
                        				 - Wear a mask.

Standing firm on a particularly impressive
rocky spur, this outstanding heritage site
has retained traces of every period of its
2000 years of history.
The residence of the Counts of Namur in
the Middle Ages, transformed into a resort
by King Leopold II, today it is a hotspot for
events, guided tours and leafy walks that
offer spectacular views of the city.
