Liège
Description
Rich from its past as a principality, Liège, well established on the banks of the Meuse, enjoys a history which offers visitors incalculable treasures. Liège invites you to meet its welcoming and spontaneous population who will invite you to sample the hectic nights in the hub of the city, the "Carré", or the unusual atmosphere of the colourful streets in the Outremeuse district. At the gateway to the Ardennes and its forests, which favour escape and relaxation activities, the "Hot-blooded City" also opens onto a string of spa towns, which ripple out from the native soil of Charlemagne and Georges Simenon. Liège is to be seen, inhaled and heard. Liège always gives its all, without counting the cost. Liège is to be experienced...until the end of the night.
Favoured by a geographic situation at the heart of Western Europe, Liège benefits from a dense network of communication routes. An important motorway junction in the Euregio (less than 50 km separate it from Aachen in Germany or Maastricht in the Netherlands), Liège can also pride itself on a majestic river which can be judiciously used to enhance an event or a meeting. Liège airport is among the leading European regional airports and the new station is intended for high-speed users. All these means of communication, at the forefront of efficiency, in addition to a plethora of spaces dedicated to hosting business meetings make the "Country of Liège" an ideal area for meetings for the business world.
Whatever your expectations, the Liège convention bureau, "Liège Congrès", will offer you advice and assistance in your research related to planning an event in the “Country of Liège”.
