Liège on display!
- 1 day
DescriptionSet off on a day’s discovery of Liège, its culture and exceptional heritage via Guillemins Station and its temporary exhibition, the museums of La Boverie and Walloon Life, or the Trésor de Liège
This day’s excursion has been designed especially for groups who travel by train (or bus) who want greater independence on their visit while benefiting from the advice, recommendations and anecdotes of a professional guide.
You’ll start your excursion in the splendid setting of the modern and futuristic Liège-Guillemins TGV station. This masterful structure with grandiose architecture was designed by the famous Catalan architect Santiago Calatrava. With its glass and metal vaulted ceiling, this icon of the city attracts myriad tourists and photographers, making it the most photographed monument in Liège.
In this station, don’t miss ‘Extra Muros, beyond the walls’ which invites you to discover the wall in all its states through immersive, interactive and surprising decor! Or choose to visit La Boverie museum which is located in a former palace built for the Liège World Expo in 1905. This unmissable cultural site in Liège presents the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts. From the Renaissance to the 20th century, you can admire the works of great local artists, as well as those of world-renowned artists such as Ingres, Picasso, Chagall, Lambert Lombard, or Delvaux and Monet. Furthermore, temporary exhibitions are regularly held there.
After strolling through La Boverie park and enjoying a pleasant ‘lunch’, you’ll then regain the city centre by climbing aboard the River Shuttle. You will be offered two new options. Depending on what you feel like, you’ll have a choice to either discover the collections of the Museum of Walloon Life or dive into the history of the old Principality with the Trésor de Liège where there are no fewer than 200 works of art on display.
To end the day, before taking the train at Liège-Saint-Lambert station, savour a real Liège waffle.
Duration: One day.
