Situated at the crossroads between Paris, Amsterdam, and Cologne, the third largest river port in Europe, Liege, is located on the banks of the Meuse River, a cultural and commercial hub of the Belgium’s French-speaking Walloon region. Liege has a beautiful medieval old town with landmarks such as the Romanesque Collegiate Church of St. Bartholomew. The Grand Curtius Museum of Archeology is located in a 17th-century mansion, and the Opera Royal de Wallonie has been around since 1820. Take the stairs to the Montagne de Bueren in the heart of the city to enjoy a breathtaking view of the whole area. Take a stroll through the Coteaux de la Citadelle, where very little is left of the ancient fort although the views are spectacular. Have a picnic at the beautifully maintained green spaces of the Parc de la Boverie.
