About Li\u00e8ge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Li\u00e8ge<\/a> is a thousand-year-old city with a historical center and numerous monuments, churches, and museums. It is located one hundred kilometers South East of Brussels and is Wallonia’s largest metropolis and Belgium’s third largest urban agglomeration. It has a population of 200,000 inhabitants. It is at the heart of the Meuse-Rhine Euregio, which also includes the cities of Maastricht (NL), Aachen (DE), and Hasselt (BE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Li\u00e8ge is proud to be described as the city of hospitality. Neither too small nor too big, it offers all the attractions of a major city, but remains on a human scale. The city center is full of shops, restaurants, and brasseries. There’s something for every taste and budget. Students usually convene in ‘Le Carr\u00e9’, a labyrinth of alleyways with a lively nightlife. On the right bank of the Meuse river, in Outremeuse, Rue Roture attracts gourmets and lovers of other cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a motorway junction, Li\u00e8ge is a gateway to the Netherlands, France, Germany, Luxembourg, and all of Central Europe. It boasts Europe’s third-largest river port, with links to the seaports of Antwerp and Rotterdam. Its airport, at Bierset, is a fast-growing international freight hub. Its futuristic station designed by Santiago Calatrava, Gare de Li\u00e8ge-Guillemins<\/a>, puts the city in the middle of the Paris-Brussels-Cologne-Frankfurt high speed rail corridor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
