About this school trip
We would be delighted to take care of transport for you and your pupils to the Citadel of Namur, the symbol of the city. This fortress tells centuries of history: from medieval remains in the cellars of the Logis des Comtes to the Terra Nova barracks from the Dutch period, which once housed around 1,200 soldiers.
The tour starts at the Terra Nova visitor centre and takes pupils through 450 metres of underground passages, with 3D animations, projections and sound effects. The little tourist train takes them along the fortifications with views over the Meuse valley, and a tour about the Citadel in the Middle Ages completes the story. The cable car links the Citadel with the city centre in about eight minutes.
It makes an ideal day for lessons on fortifications and history. ITS-Reizen takes your class to Namur and back in a comfortable, safe coach, with an experienced driver at the wheel.
