Liege is also the type of city that deserves more love than it’s been getting recently. Being in the shadow of Brussels means that you can to get to it in less than half an hour on the Thalys.  We’re big lovers of train travel, and a 30-minute trip means that you can do a day trip really easily.

You can tell that the town value art, history, and culture the moment you step inside the train station. The station itself is a work of art. And that feeling is amplified when combined with the art museum inside.
