Access to the city of Namur
Namur is served by quite a lot of train lines. Just take a look at the map of the Belgian Railways. The main lines come from Brussels, Liège, Tournai, Koln, Luxemburg and Paris.
There is now one straight and easy connection to Paris with the TGV (High Speed Train). Other frequent TGV rides are via Brussels (add an extra hour to get from Brussels to Namur by train, which is almost as fast as the direct line anyway).
Trains commute between Brussels and Namur twice an hour, the same from Liège, Charleroi and Mons.
Taxis are also available in front of the station, in case you need to use a taxi to reach the Château de Namur.
For complete journey planning (timetable and fares) visit the Belgian national railways website (SNCB).
