According to the sign at the bottom of the hill its open only April to October. There is a trail that you can take from the city center up to the citadel and then back down, making a loop, so it's possible tow all up. There is a view of the city from the top but it's bit worth going until it reopens. This citadel has some behind it. It was first built by local royalty in the middle ages and later on it became modified by the Dutch due to its tactical value. It was even put in to use by the Germans during WW2 when it became a detention camp. There is a tour with information about the castle but that is only in French. It is a shame that Non French speakers are left out on historic information. The best part is the top of the citadel. It has some amazing vista's and you can spend hours on the grassy roof. Locals tend to catch some sun when its good weather. The fort is not that big, thought the exhibition is interesting, especially for those who wants to know more about Overlord Operation. The view from the top is just amazing, you can see the whole town. This castle is a great visit, alone or as a group, or as a couple. Learn about the history, some of it dark, enjoy the panoramic view at the top, and learn from the staff who are happy to help. I was touched by my experience. A remarkable historical site overlooking the Meuse River, offering breathtaking panoramic views and a deep dive into the region's history. The well-preserved fortifications and insightful museum exhibits make it an interesting destination to visit. The Citadel of Huy, Belgium, offers a stunning view of the Meuse River and the town below. Rich in history, it served as a strategic military site and later as a WWII prison. Today, it combines with scenic beauty, making it a must-visit for buffs and photographers. Something to do relatively quick in Huy. If you intend to do the whole visit (museum part) it will take you around 2hrs. Just going up and down can be achieved in 45mins. Only bancontaque, if you you have a 20 EUR bill they might not have change. Adult 4.5 EUR, kids above 7 years 2 EUR. Below 7 years of age free of charge. Lovely panorama from the top and a very interesting exhibition inside about the prisoners' life in the fort during the German occupation of Belgium in WWII. Apart from the video (which is subtitled in Dutch), all the info panels are written in French only. The concept of the exhibition surely dates back to decades and it would definitely worth refreshing a bit. However, I'd absolutely recommend it for everybody because it brings closer an integral part of Belgium's WWII years successfully. Wonderful stained glass windows, beautifully preserved interior. Beautiful views, beautiful panorama of the city from the fort.
