The city of Liège, in French Liège, is a Walloon city in the province of the same name. The city has about 190,000 inhabitants, making it one of the largest cities in Belgium. Its location on the Maas gives the city character. In the past, Liège was mainly an industrial city: in the 20th century, the center of Liège was completely dominated by the mining and steel industry. You can still see this in the city today, which has changed a lot, however. In recent years, the city has become increasingly popular with tourists. A Liège holiday is therefore not a bad idea at all. Find out what you can do here!
