These are some places in the outskirts of Namur city and are amazing to do as day trips.
Les Jardin d'Annevoie: When I first stumbled across the Garden of Annevoie, I just liked it coz it was serene, filled with several fountains! But then, guess what? All the fountains function just by water pressure with absolutely no motors!!! None at all!!!!
Île de Dave & Wepion Strawberry: While this is in the outskirts of Namur, it isn't too far away and can be done in a couple of hours and not a day trip. Its located in Wepion which is hardly 5km from the citadel's base and is a orchard of Strawberries! The easiest and simplest way to visit here would be by....... rickshaw. Yes!!! Namur Tourism has recently introduced Rickshaws to help tourists explore in and around. There are 3 routes running as of now and we took this one to Wepion and Namur Islands. The scenery along the route is spectacular and Atyudarini thoroughly enjoyed the blowing air on her face!

Dinant Evasion: The go-to place if you're interested in adventure. However the youngest age to do anything here would be 6 years of age. So, no, we haven't been there!
