Description
Liège is the largest city in Wallonia and a vibrant cultural and economic center in eastern Belgium. The city is known for its industrial heritage, striking architecture, historic districts, and lively food and nightlife scene along the Meuse River. Landmarks such as the 374-step Montagne de Bueren, the futuristic Liège-Guillemins railway station, and the centuries-old La Batte Sunday market define its cityscape. Liège combines the legacy of a former prince-bishopric with contemporary architecture, a thriving cultural scene, and regional specialties such as its famous Liège waffles. As an important university, transport, and business hub, the city serves as a key gateway in the border region of Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands.
