Bold, lively, and full of contrasts, Liège is one of Belgium’s most energetic and underrated cities — where industrial heritage, creative culture, and unshakable local pride meet along the banks of the Meuse River.
Known for its gritty charm and warm personality, Liège is a city that invites exploration beyond the surface.
