A left-field look at the city (GR005)

  • coteaux-terrasses-370

Presentation

you the historic centre of Liège in a whole new light. Starting from the Archéoforum, under Place Saint-Lambert, the walk ascends the bottom of the hill to the Terrasses des Minimes. From their beautiful gardens, above the city's roofs, you can admire a fantastic panorama of Liège, providing an insight into its history. A short descent towards the Vieux Joncs tower, followed by a stroll along Rue du Palais, is the perfect opportunity to discover some typical courtyards on the way down. The old Hors-Château road leads to the Richonfontaine underground gallery, an imposing place which plunges into the depths of the hill (exceptional access). You will then
get to the surprising Cour Saint-Antoine and Place Saint-Barthélemy, as well as the inner courtyards of the Grand Curtius. 

Note: lots of staircases. The slopes are open from 9 am to 6 pm (summer) and from 9 am to 5 pm (winter). The site will be closed from October 1 to 8, 2014, due to the organisation of the Nocturne des coteaux de la citadelle event.
