Liege - Airport City
Located at the crossroads of Northern and Southern European culture, Liège is known as La Cité Ardente (the Passionate City). It is an old industrial center which faces the challenge of adapting to the 21st century. Take a walk through the old city center and discover the 16th century palace of the Prince-Bishops of Liège - built on the Place St Lambert, where the old St Lambert cathedral used to stand before the French Revolution. An archeological display, the Archeoforum, can also be visited under the Place St Lambert. Walk alongside the banks of the majestically flowing Meuse river. Other sites of interest include the Outremeuse area, the citadel, and the new train station designed by Santiago Calatrava. | Book this City | Namur
Situated at the confluence of the Meuse and Sambre rivers, the bustling capital of Belgium's French-speaking Wallonia region, Namur has fine museums and churches, a casino, and an abundance of cafes and restaurants. The town's most prominent sight is the citadel, now demilitarised and open to the public. It plays host to a beer festival at Easter. Namur also has a distinctive 18th century cathedral dedicated to Saint Aubain and a belfry classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. An interesting custom is the annual Combat de l'Échasse d'Or (Fight for the Golden Stilt), held in September. Two teams, the Mélans and the Avresses, dress in medieval clothes while standing on stilts and do battle in one of the town's principal squares. | Book this City |
