Belgium

Located in eastern Belgium on the Meuse river, near the German and Dutch borders. Liège surprises with Santiago Calatrava's spectacular Liège-Guillemins railway station, an architectural masterpiece of steel, glass and white concrete that ranks among the most beautiful stations in Europe. The famous Montagne de Bueren staircase with its 374 steps leads up to the citadel and offers a stunning panoramic view over this Mosan industrial city that has earned a name for itself culturally and gastronomically well beyond its borders. The Liège waffle and La Batte, Belgium's most lively flea market on the Meuse embankment, are among the city's culinary and cultural essentials.
