General presentation
Liège, Ourthe et Amblève
Town of character, contemporary train station, hillsides, valleys nearby and excursions to the Ourthe and Amblève.
The discovery of Liège, Ourthe and Amblève revolves around Liège, Bueren Mountain and Liège-Guillemins. The stay thus alternates between urban life, riverscapes, heritage and the countryside, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best-known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. To anticipate also: urban relief and less polished atmosphere than Bruges or Ghent. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
City
Liege centre historique
The historic centre of Liège mixes streets, lively squares, collegiate squares, impasses and terraces in a very direct atmosphere. The city discovers itself better by walking without too smoothing the experience, because its energy comes as much from its contrasts as from its monuments.
Staircase
Montagne de Bueren
The Montagne de Bueren imposes a long and steep staircase that connects the center of Liège The effort is part of the experience, rewarded with views of the roofs and the small streets on the slope of the neighbouring district.
Architecture
Gare de Liege-Guillemins
The Liège-Guillemins railway station has a huge white frame of glass, steel and concrete, with curved lines that transform the passage of trains into an architectural scene. Even for a few minutes, the stairs, footbridges and perspectives to the city show the very recognizable gesture of Santiago Calatrava.
