Liège
Wallonia’s top city for tourists
Known as the “Ardent City”, Liège is the leading tourist city in Wallonia. The latter mainly owes its success to a rich history and exceptional cultural and architectural heritage.
Stroll around the city center of Liège, a real open-air museum!
You will discover 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.
Although the past is still present in Liège, modernity is also evident
The Guillemins district certainly best represents this modernity. Impressive infrastructure designed by world-renowned architects has sprung up in recent years. You can marvel at the TGV station by Santiago Calatrava, its Tour des Finances, or the Center of Design. The Cité Miroir and Médiacité, one of Liège's largest shopping centers, also bears witness to this new architecture.
