Worth The Money
We stopped off in Dinant on our way from Bastogne to Brussels via Waterloo. We bought the combined ticket to see the Citadel via cable car and also the river trip (45 mins.) on the River Meuse. We thought the Citadel was worth the visit, stunning views down across the town and the river as well as the Museum exhibits. The river cruise was also very pleasant as the weather was particularly pleasant.

Nice views of Dinant
There are a few different ways to get to the citadel. 1) Drive to the top and park. 2) Take the cable car. 3) Take the stairs. I paid for the cable car. 10 Euros per person was outrageous, but I paid because I didn't feel like walking up the 400+ steps at the time. The cable car ride itself only lasts for maybe 2 or 3 minutes. The 10 Euros also covers the cost of entrance to the citadel. There is a café, giftshop, toilets (not free), and a small museum inside the citadel. Of course, you're afforded wonderful views from the top. Arguably the main attraction in Dinant and when the weather is fine it's a rather pleasant experience.
