Liège city breaks

Liège holidays and city breaks.

Liège has far more to it that first meets the eye – it’s the cultural hub of Belgium’s Wallonia region, with museums and art on tap and a lively nightlife scene. The best way to arrive is via the spectacular Liège-Guillemins Train Station, a modern architectural triumph which resembles a baseball cap, a stingray or a woman lying on her side, depending on your perspective. Straddling the Meuse and with a backdrop of Ardennes foothills, Liège is a city of wide boulevards, pockets of timber-frame architecture and pretty parks.

Things to see and do

Culture fans should start at the Grand Curtius, which went through a €50-million redevelopment two decades ago. It houses a wealth of treasures, weaponry, archaeology and decorative arts in the red-painted former mansion-warehouse of a 16th-century Liège arms dealer (supposedly it was originally painted with ox blood). It has a vast collection and exhibits on Liège industries throughout the ages.

Learn more about the history of the region at the Museum of Walloon Life, set in the stunning former monastery of the Franciscans, and housing everything from literature to folklore and crafts.

Old Citadel

Stretch your legs by climbing the 373 steps of the Montagne de Bueren’s staircase to the Old Citadel.

Belgian explorer and adventurer Louis-Philippe Loncke simulated an ascent of Mount Everest here during the pandemic, by doing the 9000-metre climb 135 times while carrying a 15kg backpack.

Best places to eat and drink in Liège

Place du Marché is a great place to explore bars, restaurants and brasseries. Find a spot to try local specialty Boulet à la liégeoise – meatballs in sweet brown sauce served with fries, mayo and apple purée. Chase it with the local Walloon gin – pèkèt. The place to make the most of Liège’s buzzing nightlife is Le Carré, where pedestrianised streets are lined with numerous late-night bars and taverns.

15 Best Things to Do in Liege (Belgium)

Liege is the third largest city in Belgium and the largest city in the French-Speaking region of Wallonia. At first glance the city can seem reserved and almost shy, compared to other, more lively Belgium city’s, but it will not take long for you to discover the truth. The people here are friendly and love life and so they should, the food, drink and nightlife in Liege are as good as anywhere in the country.

The wealth of churches and other medieval buildings as well as top class museums and art galleries are also enough to rival Europe’s top cities and will keep you busy for a week with ease. It may sound like a cliche (especially in Europe) but there really is a sight around each corner in Liege and lovers of architecture and art will be in heaven.

Combine all this with the city’s beautiful setting on the tranquil Meuse River and you are onto a winner. The many festivals throughout the year mean that one trip to Liege can be very different from another during different seasons and may well tempt you back time and again.

These are the best things to do in Liege :

1. Learn About Art at the Grand Curtius

The Grand Curtius, or Curtius Museum, is an archeology and art museum set in a restored mansion from the 17th Century.

All those years ago, the building belonged to a wealthy entrepreneur from the city and it was his idea to bring together four small museum collections in order to form the large collection you can see today.

The sheer amount of objects here mean you need to dedicate a full day to the museum and grab yourself an audio guide in order to fully appreciate this vast museum.

2. Climb the Montagne de Bueren

The Stairs of Mount Bueren are well worth climbing but it is also worth exploring the passageways around the Montagne and marveling at the hidden treasures you find along the way.

You will mainly discover private gardens but they are still worth seeing.

Continue on along the winding staircase to the summit of Montagne de Bueren and you wild find a war memorial as well as some of the best panoramic views in the entire city of Liege.

3. Marvel at the Liege-Guillemins Station

This iconic building will certainly take your breath away. The building is both a vital hub for transport in the country and a stunning example of modern architecture.

It was designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and is mainly made of steel. Its curved, sweeping design is reminiscent of something from a sci-fi film.

If you want to take one of Belgium’s impressive high speed trains, then this station is one of the three stations in the country that you can catch one from.

4. Witness Beauty on the Inside of the Musee Des Beaux-Arts de Liege

As you approach this museum in the Feronstree district of Liege, you will be shocked by how unattractive the building it is.

The museum is housed in an unflattering concrete building that was constructed in the 1980s. Allow yourself to get past this though and venture into the museum and you will be rewarded.

The art collections within are displayed beautifully and range from medieval works to more contemporary pieces.

5. Dig Deep at the Archeoforum of Liege

Located on Place St Lambert this archeological site measures almost 4,000 square metres and is home to 9,000 years worth of Liege history.

The cathedral that formerly stood here was demolished in 1793 and all that now remains are the foundation blocks. There are also foundations of a Roman Villa which stood here many years ago.

A video tour allows you to explore a computer generated model of the cathedral that was once here and explains the site in English.

6. Go Gothic at the St Paul Cathedral

The St Paul Cathedral, or Liege Cathedral as it is also known, was built in the 15th Century and restored to how it is now in the 19th Century. The building is a tremendous example of Gothic architecture especially the pulpit, vaults and ceiling.

Several treasures were brought to the cathedral from the nearby St Lambert Cathedral when it was demolished including a gold and silver ornament of St Lambert himself.

Inside the ornament, if legend is to believed, is part of Lambert’s skull.

7. Learn about the Walloons

The Walloons, if you didn’t already know, are a French speaking people that live mainly in Belgium, although there are also significant populations in Brazil, USA and Argentina. The museum in Liege is set in a former Franciscan monastery and has a large collection of objects that explore the past and present lives of the Walloon people. Highlights include metalwork dating back as far as the 12th Century and a genuine guillotine and even the head of its last victim.

8. Enjoy Mosan Art at the Church of St Bartholomew

Mosan art is a style of art that originated from the Meuse Valley in what is now Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. Most people will agree that one of the best examples of Mosan art can be found at the Church of St Bartholomew in Liege.

The famous baptismal font that is found within the church was crafted at the beginning of the 12th century and came from the cathedral of St Lambert when it was demolished. The font shows several baptism scenes and rests on small ox figures that appear to be holding its weight.

Entry to see the font will cost you 2 euros or you can have a sneaky glance through the nearby church window.

9. See More Mosan Art

Speaking of Mosan Art, very nearby to the Museum of Walloon Life is the Musee d’Art Religieux Et D’art Mosan, which as the name suggests explores some of the greatest art from the regions past.

It is best to begin a tour on the 3rd floor of the building where you will see many statues of the saint of hunting St Hubert. After this, work your way down through the building and admire the many wonderful pieces on the way.

One of the most notable is a wood carving of the Virgin Mary which dates back to the very beginning of the 11th Century.

10. Take a Nighttime Stroll to the City Hall

The Liege City Hall or Hotel de Ville, is always worth looking it. It is an imposing but elegant building on the city’s main square. If you really want to see the building in all its glory however then you should visit at night when it is gloriously lit up by red spotlights.

The square here, Place du Marche, is home to a few good cafes as well as two fountains hidden away by the surrounding trees.

The Place du Marche is as good a place as any to drink a coffee and people watch in true European style.

11. Find Treasure

The Tresor De Liege, or Treasure House of Liege, is situated close to the cathedral’s cloisters and has been renovated to a very high standard.

Inside the Treasure House, you will find many works of art that tell the tale of Liege and its history.

It is best explored as part of a trip to the Liege Cathedral itself.

12. Arm Yourself at the Arms Museum

The Musee D’Armes was opened in 1885 and is actually a part of the Grand Curtuis museum but it deserves a mention of its own. The collection is made up of around 11,000 objects, making it the second largest collection in the continent. The weapons here are often beautiful as well as interesting and the museum even explains the process of manufacturing the armaments throughout the years. The oldest piece in the museum is a prehistoric axe.

13. See the Former Palace of the Prince-Bishops

The Former Palace of the Prince-Bishops is a stunning building located right in the centre of Liege. It used to overlook the St Lambert Cathedral before it was destroyed.

The first palace was built here over 1,000 years ago but was destroyed by fire in the 12th Century.

The palace is now largely as it was in the 18th Century and is a great blend of “seriousness and grandiose” as Victor Hugo once described it. The building is presently used as a courthouse.

14. Witness Walloon Life

Cross the River Meuse to the island of Outremeuse and celebrate the unique culture there.

The island is home to Walloon people who class themselves as a free republic and celebrate their status every August in a lively and often chaotic festival. The festival takes place on the 15th August each year and is a great time to be on the island.

The frivolities that ensue include a folk parade, shooting and blessing lovers.

15. Enter a Mansion

The Musee d’Ansembourg is a beautifully restored and refurbished mansion that dates back to the mid 18th Century.

Within the building are four original 18th Century tapestries that have spent their entire lifetime in the building. Despite the buildings large size, the explanations given for each room are rather brief and, as such, you can be in and out within half an hour.

Entrance costs 5 Euros and visits are only possible Thursday through to Sunday between the hours of 10am and 6pm.

A medieval city with an industrial history, Liège is the fiery city on the Meuse River

Liège is a lesser-known but worthwhile destination for its sturdy medieval heart, huge riverside market and fiercely independent people. You can take a river cruise on the Meuse, explore the history of the Walloons or climb a medieval stairway so steep they call it a mountain. It’s also a great place to begin an exploration of World War II history, including the monumental Battle of the Bulge.

The city dates to the time of Charlemagne, but since the 19th century, Liège has been mostly known for its coal and steel industries. A flagging economy led to unrest and riots in the later part of the 20th century, but in recent decades the city has gone to great lengths to soften its image. Restoration efforts of the city’s many historical buildings have led to a resurgence of interest in visitors wishing to discover la cité ardente, or the fiery city, for themselves.

Things to see and do in Liège

Liège isn't as well-known or well-trodden as Belgium’s stars, Bruges  and Brussels . Yet its medieval charm, rich folklore and proud populous make it an interesting visit. We can arrange activities that will help you come to know this former hub of European industry that the locals call la cité ardente, or the fiery city.

Muse by the Meuse

The Meuse River runs through France, Belgium and the Netherlands before emptying into the North Sea, and the stretch which snakes through the middle of Liège presents a tapestry of medieval and modern buildings, set between bridges spanning the city’s halves. We can arrange for you to take a lazy boat ride down the river, through the medieval heart of the town.

Along the river’s banks is the La Batte market, Belgium’s largest and oldest. Open every Sunday, it draws crowds from all over Europe to its bright-canopied stalls, selling everything from fruits and cheese to clothes and books. You can also try the local apéritif called peket, a fruit brandy made with juniper berries.

The medieval core

The Rue Hors-Château area is the oldest section of the city, dating to the 11th century when it was built outside the fortified city walls — thus its name, meaning 'outside the castle'. Many of the buildings date to the 16th century or earlier. The district also contains the frequently photographed Montagne de Bueren or Bueren Mountain, a 373-step stairway that climbs from the city’s heart to the citadel.

Near one end of the old town is the Musée de la Vie Wallonne, widely regarded as the best folklore museum in the country. Here you can learn the history of the Walloon people, in the setting of an old Franciscan monastery.

The Battle of the Bulge

Liège was a focal point in World War II, just as it had been for centuries due to its strategic location. Beginning in Liège, we can arrange a tour of important sites related to the Battle of the Bulge , where you’ll go deeply into the strategic choices and responses that led to this crucial final offensive.

Best time to visit Liège

Weather-wise, it makes the most sense to travel from April to October, when it’s warm enough to enjoy the outdoors and typically drier than the winter. The city is lively on the weekends due to the La Batte market on Sundays. Restaurants and shops are often closed on Mondays, so it’s a good idea to grab some picnic supplies at the market if you plan to be in town then.

Liege Airport Choices

Brussels airport (bru).

Brussels Airport is the primary airport in Belgium, being positioned only 7.5 miles from the capital city, Brussels. As well as handling almost 26 million passengers in 2019 (making it one of the busiest airports in Europe), it’s also the hub for Brussels Airlines and TUI Fly Belgium. The origins of an airport on this site begin in 1940, when occupying German forces built three runways during World War Two - it became the commercial development it is today following ownership of British Forces at the end of the conflict. Two extensions to the airport are currently in the planning phase, which will open the site up to ten more global routes.

How do I get from Brussels Airport (BRU) to the city centre?

Liege lies about an hour’s journey from Brussels Airport, but there are a number of modes of transport to get you from A to B. A regular train service runs between the stations of Brussels-Airport-Zaventem and Liege-Guillemins, taking approximately an hour and ten minutes - a one-way journey will cost in the region of €27. A number of bus services depart Brussels Airport, with stops at Brussels-North Bus Station. From this major transport hub, you will be able to catch an onward bus to Liege. A journey from Brussels-North will take around an hour and half, but prices will vary depending on time of day. Hiring a rental car (many different companies operate from the airport itself) or opting for a local taxi are also options, but these are considerably more costly.

Ostend–Bruges International Airport (OST)

Like its counterpart, Brussels Airport, Ostend-Bruges International Airport was also originally built by occupying German forces during World War Two. In the intervening years, the airport has become a key freight airport for Belgium and Europe, but commercial passenger numbers have begun to rise in recent years, with a total of just over 400,000 passengers in 2018. At present, there is only one runway and no plans to expand the airport.

How do I get from Ostend–Bruges International Airport (OST) to the city centre?

Ostend-Bruges International Airport is around two hours’ drive from Liege, taking you diagonally across the width of Belgium in the process. There is a direct train from the airport to Liege, running 19 times during the day and taking an average of two-and-a-quarter hours. Train fares vary depending on time of day and class travelled in, but you can expect to pay around €30 for a one-way ticket. A night train service is also available, taking a similar length of time and costing around the same. Bus options are available, but these journeys will take over four hours on average and involve a couple of changes at both Brussels-North Bus Station and in Bruges. Car hire is another option, with multiple companies offering services from the airport itself.

Antwerp International Airport (ANR)

Antwerp International Airport is one of the smallest international airports in Europe, serving only 270,000 commercial passengers in 2017. Accessed via only two airlines (Air Antwerp and TUI Fly Belgium), it has only one runway and one passenger terminal, and there are no plans to expand at present. As well as an airport, Antwerp International operates as both a flying school, a base for private jets, a maintenance workshop and a storage facility for a local museum.

How do I get from Antwerp International Airport (ANR) to the city centre?

There are no direct links between Antwerp International Airport and Liege apart from hire car and taxi. A train from Antwerp Central is available, but you will be required to change three times, and a journey takes an average of three hours, whereas travelling by road is around an hour and a quarter. There is also no single ticket fare, so you will be required to pay at each station stop. A bus journey takes a similar length of time for around €20 one-way.

Liege Airport (LGG)

Liege Airport is predominantly a freight and cargo airport, being the seventh biggest base in Europe and in the top 25 in the world. Thanks to its position in the Golden Triangle (between Paris, Amsterdam and Frankfurt), it is primely placed to receive up to 66 per cent of European freight. It also operates as a commercial airport, with TUI Fly Belgium offering a selection of seasonal and year-round flights between other European destinations.

How do I get from Liege Airport (LGG) to the city centre?

Liege Airport is located close to a major road network, accessed via E42 (exit 3). This motorway makes it quick and easy to get from the airport to the centre of Liege, as well as numerous other destinations across the country. Bus 57 links the airport with Liege train station, where connections can be made with local, national and international services. Bus 53 goes to Liege city centre, where other connections can easily be made. Taxis are also available, but Uber doesn’t operate in Belgium at present.

When is the cheapest time to fly to Liege?

January is the cheapest time to fly to Belgium, largely due to the inclement weather which is very similar to that experienced in the UK around the same time. However, the summer months and November and early December are more expensive, with excellent sunshine in the former and an abundance of Christmas markets in the latter.
