Liège

Liège is a bold, bustling city in the heart of Belgium, where two rivers meet and the streets hum with centuries of history. It has the kind of character that grabs your attention straight away, from the jaw-dropping arcaded courtyard of the Prince-Bishops’ Palace to the exhausting but totally rewarding climb up 374 steep steps to see the whole city spread out below you. On Sundays, the riverbank transforms into one of Europe’s longest and liveliest markets, stretching so far you could spend the whole morning just wandering through it.

Liège is also a city that loves good food, and it gave the world one of the greatest snacks ever created: a dense, chewy, caramel-crusted waffle unlike anything else you will ever taste. With its grand museums packed full of treasures, a cathedral holding relics linked to one of history’s greatest emperors, and a warm, proud local spirit, Liège is a city that really sticks with you.

Quick fact

Liège is the largest city in the Wallonia region and sits at the confluence of the Meuse and Ourthe rivers, giving it a lively waterfront and a rich industrial heritage.

Fun fact

Liège is famous for inventing the Liège waffle, a chewy, caramelised waffle made with pearl sugar that is quite different from the lighter Brussels waffle people know around the world.
