The Guillemins railway station of Santiago Calatrava (GR023)

The Liège-Guillemins high-speed rail station, a true cathedral of glass and steel, was designed by Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava and inaugurated in September 2009. Monumental, organic, ethereal and

transparent, it transfigures the urban landscape and towers as a symbol of the city's renewal. With it, Belgium became the first state to have a high-speed rail network spanning the entire country. Liège lies just 22 min from Aachen, 29 min from Maastricht, 1 h 44 from Liège, 2 h 18 from Paris and 3 h 16 from London.
