Question 1

How much does a holiday home in Dinant cost?

Accepted Answer

Holiday homes in Dinant remain very affordable. A place for two to four people costs 70 to 120 euros a night. Larger houses for six to ten people run from 110 to 190 euros a night. For the summer holidays, book early.

Question 2

What is there to see and do in Dinant?

Accepted Answer

The citadel and its view over the Meuse is the best-known attraction, reached by cable car or by the steps. The Maison Adolphe Sax honours the son of Dinant who invented the saxophone. Kayaking on the Meuse, cycling along the river and visiting the caves of Dinant round off the programme.

Question 3

How far is Dinant from Namur?

Accepted Answer

Dinant is about 30 kilometres south of Namur, half an hour by road along the Meuse. By train, regular services link Namur and Dinant in around 40 minutes. By bike, the Meuse route runs right beside the river, almost flat all the way, which makes it pleasant even with children.

Question 4

Can I go kayaking in Dinant?

Accepted Answer

Yes, kayaking on the Meuse and on the nearby Lesse is one of the most popular activities in the region. Several operators in Dinant and Anseremme hire out kayaks and canoes. The classic Lesse descent between Houyet and Anseremme is a favourite with families. In summer, booking ahead is advised.

Question 5

Are there family holiday homes in Dinant?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Dinant and the Meuse valley villages offer a good choice of family gîtes. Many places lie in quiet villages, with a garden and good facilities. Particularly appealing for families: the caves of Dinant, the Maison Adolphe Sax and the wide paths along the Meuse.

Question 6

How do you get up to the citadel of Dinant?

Accepted Answer

Two options: the cable car from the centre, just behind the collegiate church, or the historic stairway of 408 steps cut into the rock. At the top, the view plunges over the Meuse and the rooftops of Dinant. Allow about two hours for the casemates and the museum. The combined citadel and cable car ticket is the best value.

Question 7

When is the best time to stay in Dinant?

Accepted Answer

From May to September, Dinant lives to the rhythm of the Meuse: sightseeing boats, riverside terraces and kayak descents of the Lesse. The citadel is open almost all year. Autumn has its charm too, when the rock faces above the Meuse take on colour and the summer crowds have gone.

Question 8

Are there holiday homes with a view of the Meuse in Dinant?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a few places in Dinant and in neighbouring villages such as Anseremme or Waulsort look directly onto the river or over the heights above it. The view of the collegiate church and citadel from the opposite bank is especially sought after. Book early for summer weekends: these addresses go first.
