Dinant has a small but dominant citadel perched high above the town. This is well worth a visit as it's got quite and interesting history especially during the first few months of the First World War when German troops attacked the town and killed hundreds of civilians.
I parked at the top, walked around the museum then took the steps down to the town. There is a cable car (it's just by the trees at the top). The walk back up the hill was good exercise but I constantly thought how well defended this side of the citadel was - I would not have wanted to make that approach if there were people chucking stuff down at me!
Namur also has a citadel but it is much larger than Dinant. I only stopped her for a lunch and coffee break so didn't spend much time exploring. Maybe this is something for another trip.
