The Dinant City Guides answer the questions a visit to this cliffside town raises: where to find a proper pot of mussels, whether the citadel is worth its ticket, when to paddle the Lesse without the crowds and which castles of the valley deserve the drive. Every place comes with the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip, and the guides open in your browser as soon as you have paid.

Three places from the guides
Chez Bouboule
Rue Adolphe Sax 34, left bank
Mussels are the whole point here, cooked in about twelve different sauces from white wine to Leffe and served on a terrace looking across the river at the Collégiale. Portions are generous; count on €25 to €30 for a pot with frites. From the food guide.
Rocher Bayard
Rue Defoin, 2 km south of the centre
A slender 40-metre rock standing on its own beside the cliff, with the road squeezing through the gap. The legend credits the hoof of the horse Bayard; the real work was done by Louis XIV’s soldiers. From the things to do guide.
Brasserie Caracole
Falmignoul, 15 min by car south of Dinant
A family brewery that still heats its kettles over a wood fire, with the tasting room set right among the brewing gear. Four tasters cost around €4.50; start with Nostradamus and the Troublette wheat beer. From the nightlife guide.
Finish the game, then open the guide
World City Trail’s Dinant scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour lead you through the historic centre. The guides take over from there: a pot of mussels across the bridge, a boat trip on the Meuse, an afternoon kayaking the Lesse or a free walk up to the castle ruins above Bouvignes.
