*The city's landmark is the [[Notre Dame de Dinant|Collegiate Church of Notre Dame de Dinant]]. It was rebuilt in [[Gothic architecture|Gothic style]] on its old foundations after falling rocks from the adjacent cliff partially destroyed the former Romanesque-style church in 1227. Several stages for a pair of towers on the west end were completed before the project was abandoned in favour of the present central tower with a famous onion dome and facetted multi-staged lantern.
*Above the church rises the vertical flank of the ''rocher'' surmounted by the fortified [[Citadel of Dinant]] that was first built in the 11th century to control the [[Meuse]] valley.  The [[Prince-Bishopric of Liège]] rebuilt and enlarged it in 1530; the French destroyed it in 1703. Its present aspect, with the 408-step rock-hewn stairs, is due to rebuilding in 1821, during the [[United Kingdom of the Netherlands]] phase of Dinant's chequered history. A cable car is available during the high season to take visitors from the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame to the top of the Citadel.
*Away from the main block is the ''Rocher Bayard'' that was said to have been split by the giant hoof of [[Bayard (legend)|Bayard]], the giant horse carrying the [[Renaud de Montauban|four sons of Duke Aymon]] on their legendary flight from [[Charlemagne]] through the [[Ardennes]], told in ''[[Les Quatre Fils Aymon]]'', a famous 12th-century ''[[chanson de geste]]''. In reality the rock was split by the soldiers of [[Louis XIV of France|Louis XIV]] after the conquest of Dinant in order to construct a road alongside the Meuse. 
*The house of [[Adolphe Sax]], inventor of the [[saxophone]], in the street of the same name. A little museum, [[Mr Sax's House]], commemorates his life and saxophones.
*Grotte de Dinant La Merveilleuse, a series of caves with impressive stalagmite and stalactite structures, is near the south west of the town.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://visitwallonia.com/en-gb/content/la-merveilleuse-grotto-dinant?cookie_lang=en-gb | title=La Merveilleuse, a grotto in Dinant }}</ref>
