TÉLÉPHÉRIQUE DE NAMUR

Inaugurated in May 2021, it comprises four groups of three cabins and replaces, on a new route, the aerial tramway closed in 1997 after forty years of operation. Overlooking the river Sambre, the ropeway provides a rapid ascent from the recently renovated Place Maurice Servais to the top of the citadel. Whether you're simply looking for a (very moderate) thrill ride or an alternative means of transport, there's no reason why you can't treat yourself to a trip to the top, or take a ride down to the city with free parking. However, if you have a connecting flight or an appointment, keep in mind that queues can be long. Once up in the air, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city's latest architectural achievements: the Delta (provincial cultural center), the Confluence, which has replaced the Grognon canker, the work on the Halle al'Chair, the Namur tourist office and, at the top, a close-up view of the Pavillon, located next to the top station of the aerial tramway. From here, a number of footpaths lead around the citadel to key points, with Terra Nova at the top.
