There are plenty of reasons to move to Liege \u2013 the cost of living is considerably cheaper than a lot of Belgian cities, it\u2019s easy to get to, and there\u2019s plenty of locally-made beer and chocolate to enjoy! Here Hamiltons Removals, who offer high-quality removals services to Liege, take a closer look at the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The History and Heritage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Situated to the east of Belgium, quite close to the border with the Netherlands. The name, Liege, is of Germanic origin, with the original word meaning \u201cpeople\u201d also being linked to the idea of a gathering place, reflecting its historical role as a significant settlement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a Roman settlement here. Over the centuries, its strategic position on the River Meuse meant it was a centre for local and international trade, and its capture became very important down the years (not just the World Wars, but also various internal rebellions before then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays, the area is important for heavy industry (particularly steelmaking and armaments, aircraft engines) and high-tech businesses (e.g. space technology and IT), it\u2019s also a home for chocolate and beer production, as well as mineral water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting There and Getting Around<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is an airport which services the city, but although it does have flights to various European destinations, this does not currently include the UK. It\u2019s mainly a cargo airport, and it is the seventh largest in Europe in terms of freight handled. Your best bet if you want to fly in is probably to get a connecting flight from Brussels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city\u2019s main railway station \u2013 Li\u00e8ge-Guillemins \u2013 is located in the south-western part of the city. The station is served by high-speed trains to and from Brussels, Paris, Cologne and Frankfurt, it\u2019s also on the Eurostar line from the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liege is served by a network of six motorways or \u2018E-routes\u2019 if you are driving there. Once you are there, there isn\u2019t an underground system, but there is a new tramway network which opened this year, alongside its comprehensive TEC bus network. You can also get around by bike, but some of the routes are a little hilly, and others are on old roads, so be wary. Most of the main attractions are within walking distance, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Main Attractions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Montagne de Bueren (pictured) is a staircase in the city centre with 374 steps. It leads to the Coteaux de la Citadelle (an area of meadows, parks, woods and vineyards). The climb is well worth the effort as there are some spectacular views once you get to the top (and they are beautifully illuminated every October in the city\u2019s Festival of Light).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The La Boverie Museum, set in the park of the same name, has an impressive collection of modern art. Try the Musee Curtius (on the banks of the River Meuse) if you want some older art. And there\u2019s also the cathedral \u2013 an outstanding example of Gothic architecture, with high vaulted ceilings, detailed sculptures and kaleidoscopic stained-glass windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want something more family-friendly, try the Aquarium-museum de Li\u00e8ge, where you can get up close to clownfish, seahorses, octopus, piranhas and even some dwarf nurse sharks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shopping Around and Eating Out<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best central areas are Rue Vin\u00e2ve d\u2019\u00cele and Le Carre, which have many of the leading international brands and local boutiques (and in the case of the latter, plenty of restaurants and cafes). For something more artisan or independent, try the La Batte Sunday Market (mostly for food) or En Neuvice, which has been dubbed \u201cthe street of Liege\u2019s craftsmen\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local foods to try include Liege waffles (usually topped with sugar, cream, chocolate or fruit) or boulets li\u00e9geoise (beef and pork meatballs simmered in a gravy made with onions, flour, beef broth, and a syrup-based sauce).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as local alcohol goes, look for a beer made either by Brasserie Curtius (the most famous brewery) or Brasseries de Liege (a local collective). And for chocolate, anything made by Chocolaterie Franz (the pralines are particularly well known) or Leonidas can be recommended. Both have city centre stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAQs:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. Do I need to speak French to live in Li\u00e8ge?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: While English is widely understood in business and at the University of Li\u00e8ge, daily life in the city is conducted in French. Unlike Brussels, which is bilingual, Li\u00e8ge is firmly Francophone. Learning basic French will significantly help with your local registration and daily social interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: How does the cost of living in Li\u00e8ge compare to the UK?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: Li\u00e8ge is remarkably affordable for a major European city. On average, the cost of living (including rent) is about 15\u201320% lower than in mid-sized UK cities like Bristol or Manchester, and significantly cheaper than London. In 2026, a stylish one-bedroom apartment in the city centre typically averages \u20ac750\u2013\u20ac900 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What is the registration process if you are moving to the city?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: Within eight days of arriving in Li\u00e8ge, you must visit the local town hall (H\u00f4tel de Ville<\/em>) to register your presence. A local police officer will eventually visit your new home to verify you actually live there. This is a standard Belgian procedure and is the final step to receiving your residency card, which you\u2019ll need for healthcare and taxes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
