Top 15 Must-See Attractions in Dinant, Belgium

Situated along the Meuse River, this city boasts a remarkably scenic location, nestled between the flowing waters and the towering valley walls. To the east rises an insurmountable limestone cliff that has historically made Dinant a strategic position for military endeavors. Perched atop this rocky prominence is a citadel that complements the distinctive 16th-century onion dome of the Collegiate Church. Along the riverside, Boulevard Léon Sasserath features an extensive array of restaurants and café terraces. Notably, Dinant’s cultural legacy is marked by its role as the birthplace of Adolphe Sax (1814-1894), the inventor of the saxophone, with numerous saxophone monuments adorning the town, including one at the bridge where Charles de Gaulle was wounded in 1914.
