Liège on display!
- 1 day
DescriptionSet off on a day’s discovery of Liège, its culture and exceptional heritage via Guillemins Station, 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.
Then head towards La Boverie Museum situated in the stunning park of the same name. Don’t miss the current exhibition dedicated to Paul Delvaux, a major representative of 20th century Belgian painting, which is being held until 16 March 2025 to mark the 100th anniversary of surrealism.
After strolling through La Boverie park and enjoying a pleasant ‘lunch’, you’ll then regain the city centre by climbing aboard the River Shuttle (from April to October). 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.
