Liège Heritage Trail

Liège’s heritage spans over a millennium, reflected in the Romanesque foundations of St. Bartholomew and the intricate Gothic-Renaissance architecture of the Prince-Bishops' Palace. This trail connects the city’s ecclesiastical history, including the 10th-century St. Paul’s Cathedral, with civic landmarks like the 18th-century Town Hall and the Royal Opera of Wallonia. Visitors can explore the 19th-century Passage Lemonnier, the scenic Meuse riverfront via the Pont de Fragnée, and the expansive green slopes and historic monuments of the Coteaux de la Citadelle.
