Town of Dinant - Great Attractions (Belgium)

Take a tour of Town of Dinant in Belgium -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

Dinant - the birth place of the saxophone.

After its destruction in 1466 by the Duke of Burgundy and his son Charles the Bold, the city rebuilt itself into its present day marvel.

Four hundred and twenty stone steps above Dinant is one of the town's most noted locations, the Citadel; easily accessible through the cable car system.

From the top of the Citadel to the river below, the daily boat tours are a great way to take in the full beauty and charm of this cozy town.

The Collegiate Church of Notre Dame is exemplar of the Gothic architectural style of the city.

Dinant is BEAUTIFUL...

@Alexander8345 thanks for your comment. The whole setting of Dinant is great with its architecture and the rocky hill.

@geobeats I was there on May of 2009, andI loved it. I was there with a native of Belgium, but she never mentioned the name of the rocky structure. But, I was told about the inventor of the sax, and all that. I loved the Turkish sandwich shops and their delicious durums, yummmy:)

@Alexander8345 good you got to explore smaller towns in Belgium like Dinant. A lot of folks visiting Belgium don't venture beyond Brussels.

@geobeats I was fortunate in that :) I also got to see Durbuy, a historic and touristic destination located in the Walloonian part of Belgium. Lots of Flanders go to see Durbuy. It is indeed beautiful, AND expensive.
