18. Dinant, Belgium: Citadel Views on the Meuse River

Nestled dramatically along the Meuse River beneath steep limestone cliffs topped by an imposing citadel, Dinant offers stunning scenery in Belgium's Wallonia region. Famous as the birthplace of Adolphe Sax, inventor of the saxophone (celebrated throughout town), Dinant boasts colourful narrow houses reflected in the river and the distinctive onion dome of the Collegiate Church of Notre Dame. Take the cable car up to the Citadel for panoramic views, enjoy a river cruise, or sample local treats. It’s a compact, picturesque gem often overlooked by visitors.
