Historical centre (1/2): Hors-Château and Saint-Lambert

This route invites you to discover many major sites, such as Le Grand Curtius (a museum entirely dedicated to the history of Liège), the Collégiale Saint-Barthélemy (Saint Bartholomew’s collegiate church) and its famous baptismal fonts and Rue Hors-Château. The latter, lined with many picturesque cul-de-sacs, is the former convent of the Friars Minors, but is today occupied by the Musée de la Vie wallonne (Museum of Walloon Life). Also worth the detour is the impressive Montagne de Bueren (Bueren steps), the gateway to the Coteaux de la Citadelle.

The route ends at Place du Marché (Market square) and Place Saint-Lambert (Saint-Lambert Square). These two squares are home to four emblematic sites: the Perron, which is the symbol of the city, the city hall, the Palais des prince-évêques (Palace of the Prince-Bishops) and Place Saint-Lambert. Located on the site of the former Notre-Dame and Saint Lambert cathedral, below Place Saint-Lambert the Archéoforum, a museum displaying the remains of the former cathedral, can be found.
