Destination Liège

Liège, the leading tourist city in Wallonia, is also a European metropolis, but on a human scale. Its friendly welcome is legendary. It mainly owes its success to a rich history and exceptional cultural and architectural heritage.

Stroll around the city center, a real open-air museum!

Discover the city’s history through its innumerable religious buildings, including Saint Paul’s Cathedral, the Collegiate Church of St. Bartholomew, the Basilica of Cointe, or the churches of St. Andrew, St. James, and St. Vincent.

Walking around the historic center of the city is another way to learn about its past. This district is, without a doubt, one of the most marked by history, with its palace of the Princes-Bishops, its Place Saint-Lambert, its town hall, its famous Perron, its Hors-Château district, or its many alleys and dead-ends.

The city's “renaissance” is based on modernity

The Guillemins district best represents the changes that have taken place in recent years, which have greatly contributed to the redevelopment of Liège. Spectacular infrastructures by world-renowned architects have sprung up in recent years. You can marvel at the TGV station by Santiago Calatrava, its Tour des Finances, or the Centre of Design. The Cité Miroir, or even the Médiacité (a unique and innovative shopping mall), also testify to this recent dynamic.

Liège, a city renowned worldwide for its art and culture

Liège is home to the Wallonia Royal Opera, which has regained its former splendor, and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of Liège, which is known worldwide for its virtuosity and its repertoire!

There are also many museums located in the historic heart of the city, including the Boverie museum, which has been completely renovated and hosts the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts of the City of Liège as well as new exhibitions, the Grand Curtius, which retraces 7,000 years of art and history of Pays de Liège, and the Museum of Walloon Life.

The Ardent City... a lively, festive and convivial town

Resolutely lively, the city of Liège regularly hosts major exhibitions and abounds in quality cafés, brasseries and restaurants that leave visitors spoilt for choice!

Liège city centre and, more particularly, the Cathedral Square and its environs, along with the famous “Carré”, are places that best embody the festive and convivial side of the Liégeois... definitely places not to be missed when you’re staying in Liège.
