You will have only a few days to spend in Liège. Here are our suggestions to make your stay memorable.
The city of Liège has undergone a major urban development recently. We invite you to discover some emblematic contemporary achievements starting at the iconic Guillemins train station. From there, you can walk to the Design Station (rue Paradis), the Finance Tower (avenue Blonden), and finally take the pedestrian bridge “la Belle Liégeoise” which will lead you to the Boverie Park and its recently renovated museum. For the more curious, you can also discover the street art in Liege.
Discover the historical heritage of the old city centre of Liege. We highly recommend a stroll through the historic district on Rue Hors Château, climb the famous Montagne de Bueren and enjoy the incredible panorama from the slopes of the Citadel (Boulevard du 12e de Ligne). Return to the city centre via Rue Pierreuse. Another original way to discover the city is to take the river shuttle.
Liège is a city known for its night life. After your rich exchanges during the Staff Week, relax around a drink in the famous Carré district, rue de la Casquette or Place du Marché. During the day, the city center is the ideal place to do some shopping or to discover the designer boutiques located on rue Neuvice or Souverain-Pont.
