A good way to discover the history of Liège
I would like to emphasize specially this sight as a quiet place situated in the center of Liège. It's absolutely peaceful and easy to access, but not for disabled as there are many stairs, either at the beginning or at the end. Along the way, you discover in the middle of some lawns and flowerbeds, the Old Prince-Bishop palace, the river with its meanders, the main old churches of the town and the historical area of Montagne de Buren, which was built in the XVIII century. There along the stairs you're going to discover houses with magnificent gardens and houses redone lately as this area was invaded this last three decades by people,intellectuals and artists mainly, who wanted to live near the city centre and in a peaceful environment. Of course, no car and even no bicycles there... A challenge for the ones who went to the supermarket! I hope you a pleasant stay there! And don't forget to have some food nearby at "La place du marché" where the Perron, symbol of the independence of the town, dated back from more than 1200 years!
