Dinant Walking Tour
Dinant, Belgium
Why Walk Dinant
Dinant is wedged between a sheer cliff face and the River Meuse, its collegiate church's distinctive onion-shaped spire framed by the citadel 100 meters above. The town is the birthplace of Adolphe Sax, inventor of the saxophone, and giant saxophone sculptures now line the bridge. The surrounding Meuse Valley offers dramatic limestone cliffs and river scenery.
