Very old<br />
but really modern !<br />
For 800 years, Liège was the capital of a<br />
sovereign State : the Principality of Liège (985-<br />
1789). Its vast territory covered a quarter of<br />
modern-day Belgium and extended to the<br />
French, Dutch and German borders. This<br />
‘crossroads city’ at the intersection of the<br />
German and Latin worlds held a key position<br />
during the Industrial Revolution. From this, it<br />
retains a strong, rebellious and distinctive<br />
character.<br />
Liège is a city with a rich legacy, with many<br />
sites listed as exceptional heritage as well as<br />
quirky places, frescoes by trendy artists and<br />
rustic locations.<br />
Liège is a city that innovates, with schools<br />
teaching many specialisms, a creative<br />
economy, promising sectors for the future, and<br />
cutting-edge companies.<br />
Liège is a city that is rethinking its mobility<br />
with the future tram, representing 50 hectares<br />
of redevelopment in the public space. At the<br />
heart of a European communications network,<br />
it’s a city where soft mobility is taking on an<br />
important role.<br />
Liège is a committed, multicultural city that is<br />
open to the world. Labels and charters are its<br />
DNA.<br />
Liège is a welcoming and festive state of mind,<br />
with events that bring together thousands<br />
or millions of visitors, succulent culinary<br />
specialities and a passionate temperament.<br />
We couldn’t possibly tell you everything about<br />
Liège.<br />
We’ll give you a condensed, yet jam-packed<br />
overview.<br />
