A Must |
This audio-guide will take us to the Perron Fountain, the very symbol of this city, and will end at Saint Bartholomew’s church where we’ll find the celebrated Romanesque baptismal font, one of the greatest masterpieces of European medieval art. As we stroll through the city, we’ll discover the peaceful and charming atmosphere of latter-day Liege as well as its legends and customs. The more courageous amongst you will no doubt climb the steps of Buuren Hill and together we’ll visit some delightful cul-de-sacs such as impasse de la Vignette, where beautiful houses and gardens can be seen behind their railings.
