Timetable
Museums close early in Namur, at 6pm at the latest for the most important ones. The same applies to most attractions and tourist sites. If there is one, the weekly closing day is normally Monday.
To be booked
Except for periods of particular measures (Covid...), it is rarely compulsory in Belgium in general and in Namur in particular to reserve a visit. On the other hand, groups are preferably welcomed by reservation. However, when possible, online reservations offer additional comfort when preparing an individual visit
Budget & Tips
The entrance fee for museums in Belgium is equivalent to the French price. Public museums are free and open on the first Sunday of the month.
Guided tours
The tourist office of Namur proposes several varied thematic guided tours each week, in collaboration with the Tourist Guides of Namur. Themes and modalities on www.visitnamur.eu
Most of the museums also offer a guided alternative, most often for groups. Namur also has a network of greeters ready to help you discover the city at your leisure.
