Welcome to Robbie Travels and today we will explore city of Dinant in Belgium. When you’re looking up where to go in Belgium, you might stumble upon Dinant. It’s a photographers, bloggers, and Instagrammers dream!
The name Dinant comes from the Celtic Divo Nanto, meaning Sacred Valley or Divine Valley; it can also be translated as Celestial Gorge or Luminous Gorge. When you visit the town’s cafés, try the regional specialties. Dinant is known for its Flamiche, a type of cheese tart and honey flavored Couque de Dinant biscuits. Dunk these sweet treats in a warm drink before biting into them because their hard consistency is legendary.
The city is also known as Daughter of the Meuse. It stretches along the river Meuse against the steep rock face behind on the eastern side, with a thinner strip on the western side against a forest. Its old town is perhaps one the most impressive sights in Wallonia, but the locality is relatively remote. The main sights are all close to each other and not very numerous, while accommodation opportunities are scarce, so Dinant is probably a good option for a nice day trip from larger Belgian cities such as Brussels, Charleroi or Liège. It also can serve as the starting point for a more thorough exploration of the Ardennes.
I thought one of the coolest fun facts about Dinant is that it’s where Adolphe Sax, the inventor of the Saxophone, was born. I love how they have a celebrity even in this small city. They’ve done a good job promoting him and celebrating the saxophone too. I don’t know if you noticed, but there are a few saxophones around the city, especially on the Charles de Gaulle bridge.
