Although it is not the main church of Luik, this one is at least as pretty, but probably prettier than the St paul. Especially the roof is amazing. A very good place to enjoy piece and quietness.

Founded in 1967, the association Opéra Royal de Wallonie-Liège is largely subsidized by the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, the City and Province of Liege. It is one of three major opera houses in Belgium. From the beginning, the institution occupies the Théâtre Royal de Liège, beautiful building loaned by the City of Liège (opened November 4, 1820). Its location in the heart of Liège and the Euregio, at the crossroads between Germany, the Netherlands, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and France, attracts a wide audience both Belgian and international.

Recently renovated to perfection in the best state-of-the-art, the Opera Royal de Wallonie-Liege, is a stunning place. To listen to classical music or to watch an opera in this beautiful environment is a delight. Not talking about the overall quality of performance! A small city like Liege, thanks to its rich history, is so lucky to have a place like this!

Had planned to visit three brewpubs in Liege, but never managed to drag myself away! Lucky to find a little table in the busy court yard/beer garden, set in a lovely historical building. Tasted 4 excellent beers of the 6 on offer, service was friendly and efficient with good knowledge of the beers and good English spoken by the staff! Got chatting to some other friendly folk, also there for the beer and eventually ordered some food and enjoyed the rest of the evening! Can't recommend this place enough!

This was the cherry on top of the cake! I was already so delighted with the whole city. But when on a lovely warm afternoon I decided to go to the Bovarie and was literally flabbergasted! The green areas along the river are just so enchanting. The Museum building is magnificent so is the cafe of the museum. The views are incredible. What an unforgettable afternoon.

It's currently covered in scaffolding, but don't let that put you off. Go inside and you'll see this is a magnificent cathedral: a fantastic, intricately carved roof and wonderful stained glass windows. Look out for the white marble statue of Lucifer, hiding behind the pulpit! (He's got claws, budding horns, scaly batlike wings and a look of furtive shame on his face!)

This ultramodern train station definitely worths a visit, even if you won't come to Liége by train. It's an architectural masterpiece authored by Santiago Calatrava that also creates the desire of visiting his hometown, Valencia, another medieval town like Liége, perhaps even prettier.
