Liège
Located at the heart of Europe, the city of Liège borders on the towns of Maastricht, Aachen and Hasselt (Meuse-Rhine Region) and is part of the Greater Region, which includes the border regions of Germany, Belgium, France and Luxembourg.
Liège represents a true logistical and strategic crossroads and is so a breeding ground for new ideas, creativity and research innovation, thanks, in particular, to the presence of its innovative economic industries (from start-ups to large companies), its research centres and its teaching and research institutions, as the University of Liège, named the “Alma Mater”.
Known as the “Fiery city” for its cultural abundance and its warm and festive atmosphere, Liège is the must-see Walloon destination.
Welcome to Liège, a cosmopolitan city on a human scale…

Want to extend your stay in Liège ?
As a cultural city, Liège will not disappoint you with its wide range of tourist attractions: museums, exhibitions, monuments, churchs and cathedral, “cul-de-sacs” and traditions… A stroll around the “Coteaux de la Citadelle” (The Hillsides of Citadel), the countryside in the city, will give you a panoramic view of the city and allow you to discover the famous “Montagne de Bueren”, famous for its many steps to climb.
Don’t forget to test the traditional cuisine of Liège : the famous Liège waffles, “boulets liégeois” or Liège coffee… not forgetting “pécket”, the typical Liège spirit or the local beers.
