The Montagne de Bueren is one of the most recognised landmarks in Liège. This 374-step staircase was named after Vincent de Bueren, who defended Liège against an attack in the 15th century. It's one of Europe's most dramatic staircases. Will you make it to the top?

The Aquarium-Muséum is an excellent choice for a family day out in Liège. See enormous fishtanks, home to colourful sea creatures, and explore impressive taxidermy, fossils and assembled animal skeletons.
