Liège, Belgium - They told us we would hate it!

Apparently, Liège, Belgium doesn’t have the best reputation among many Europeans. We had been told to not bother with a visit, as people called it “rough,” “dirty,” and many other not-so-nice words. Join us as we explore and take a look for ourselves!

✼ ABOUT US ✼
We are Nate and Katrina, two Americans living in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and traveling as much as we can to see what there is to see! Call us expats, immigrants, whatever... just call us already.
We balance work life with travel... as best we can! We would love to visit every country in Europe while we live here, and definitely keep a list of our global “must visit” destinations.
We try to give you a true view of us and how we travel and explore the world. Lots of food, definitely some jokes, and probably some swearing…. Hope you enjoy taking these trips with us!

Liege is going through a lot of construction work including the construction of tram lines which makes the city a little messy and a lot shops closed as well due to the lack of accessibility. It's a wonderful city known for its night life but I'd recommend coming by summer 2025.

[@damiaanspatrick2050]

About the grey ' look' in liège, it is Belgian Bluestone, and most buildings are 200-300 years old and made in that quality product. Don't understand before going up the stairs de Bueren, turn left, as that is the nicest part, a staircase 1 metre wide. that leads to the Liège gardens, and you come across a beer brewery.

👍🏻😎 cool place 👍🏻

😊😊

[@Lidjeu]

thank you for talking about us!! 🙂

[@peterjanssen2105]

top class video again, It was beautiful and interesting to watch again, thank you

[@HelenGill2222]

Love the station.

[@Paul_C]

For me the right word to describe that station: Garish.

[@alexysq2660]

Well of course in French the very word which translates as ¨station¨ actually IS *>* ... that particular one in the video being > ... and ¨garish¨ would be > 😊.... ~🩷

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

We could see that!

[@kubrabenelli9117]

Love Luik

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

It’s probably because of those waffles… 😜

[@user-xi6nk4xs4s]

Luik/Liège isn't bad at all, just a bit grey. That what hasn't been build in a grey color, turned grey with all the "heavy" industry of the past. I agree it's a bit more of a real city than Amsterdam is. It hasn't been polished as much for tourism.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Definitely. We enjoyed our afternoon there even if it was quite gray! Thanks for watching!

[@adventuresbyrust]

Stairs - I'm with Nate! 🤣🤣

Where’s your sense of adventure! 😂😂

Google "Glas in lood aanbrengen thuis" and Bob's your uncle!

[@Jan.Folkersma]

Ooohhhh now I want a big meatball. I think I know that parking garage. Steep and narrow and old! You think the colorful trainstation is to compensate for all the gray buildings? Must have been expensive though, paid with taxpayers money. It's a shame you didn't get to enjoy some Belgian beers. After a few of those you don't mind all the gray and the dirt. In Belgium they know how to eat and drink. And most of them are also extremely nice people. Keep it up!

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

The meatballs were quite good and Katrina has had quite a few Belgian beers in her lifetime! Thanks for watching, Jan!

[@bryangancedo7075]

I am from Liège and live here - the colouring of the station is temporary (should be taken off within the next few months), and cost 600.000€ (just for the colouring) - however only 10% of the cost to colour the station was paid by the taxpayers money, as 90% of the whole cost was funded by donators :) The man behind this is the french artist Daniel Buren.

"Mont de Vanin" ? What is that? ^^

[@Alby_Torino]

Apparently Liège hates tourists from the US. All those stairs without an escalator? How in the world they suppose someone can climb that hill?

[@K55365]

Belgium is a developing country

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Ouch… 🫠

[@lbergen001]

How about Brugge for a visit? Love your videos.👍👍

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Thank you!!! (Keep scrolling, Brugge (Christmas) is way back there… 😀

[@MartinWebNatures]

I'm in shock the difference in clean streets vs the Netherlands. But also the big buildings, they could use a facade cleaning. Like the church. About 7-8 years ago it was bit better, (i mean in Bruges i came a lot) but i would not be surprised if there are rats in Liège. Sad, i love ❤ Belgium, it's not taking care of there infrastructure and precious buildings. 😢

I don’t know what you’re referring to, but the St. Paul’s cathedral was totally refurbished a few years ago.

[@alexysq2660]

´Y a plusieurs membres de la famille de ma mere qui viennent de Liege, en vrai une ville super cool que je kiffe bien moi 😊 ~Une hyper ravissante video celle-ci, **Nate & Katrina** 👍 ❤, 💖 / 💖, ❤

[@ABC-ki9cc]

I love your videos! When I visited Liège a few years ago (after a 2 hour boat ride from Maastricht) the city provided a free map which was so inaccurate that it was funny. Spend a lovely afternoon there. Jacques Brel made a depressing yet beautiful song ‘il neige sur Liège’ (it’s snowing over Liège) that fits the atmosphere (kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnS7aqFun6-cg8Usi=s1cotssPPCM7kSHB).

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Thank you so much!!! We really appreciate the kind words. Gonna check that song out!

[@jsb7975]

Amsterdam was edgy during mid- 19th-century . After that began a period of renewed wealth that did not really dissapear...

[@wanneske1969]

I wouldn't know what's so great about Liege apart from the station. Dinant and Namur are more interesting.

From a heritage point of view, Liège is extremely rich, thanks to its almost thousand-year history as a Principality (which, by the way, Dinant was part of). But I respect your opinion.

[@Breakwater2024]

Where is everyone.....

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

😂 It was Easter Sunday. The busiest place was the bakery where we picked up waffles!

[@user-xf5rd6ni1i]

This is how England looks like but England looks 100x worser

[@MrOoofah]

IMHO, the BIG letdown is Brussels. For a major European city, it’s a disappointment. Chock full of diplomats, EU reps and NATO folk on expense accounts. Very good (very $$$$) restaurants. Just underwhelming. Better bets in Belgium? Bruges. Antwerpen. Love your videos. Keep the jazz music- it just fits. Tot ziens! 👋

[@lws7394]

Gent !!

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Dank je wel! We really enjoyed Bruges as well and Brussels isn’t so bad!
