- Namur Citadel - a splendid fortress at the top of the city that can be reached by bus or cable-car.
- Treasure of Hugo d'Oignies - a fabulous collection of 13th century metalwork, extemely important by any standards (owing to different addresses appearing on different websites, you are strongly avised to check with the tourist office, left on leaving the station - telephone +32 (0) 81 24 64 49). It's worth a lot of trouble to find it!

Post
De Post is the national postal service of Belgium, with Dutch, French and German versions. They offer generally fast, reliable services. It's a relatively expensive service though, with normal domestic post (cards, letters etc) up to 50 grams costing €0.61. To other European countries it costs €0.93 and outside Europe it's €1.30. At the post offices, you can buy stamps and they have other services as well, including international money transfers. The opening times of post offices are 9:00am or 10:00am until 4:00pm or 5:00pm, depending on whether it's the main central one or a smaller branch or in towns. Some of them might be open on Saturday mornings, and remember that quite a few still close for lunch break! De Post also offers the sending of parcels, but you could also use private international companies like UPS, TNT or DHL, as they offer roughly the same services and prices, but are generally faster.
