  • Liège is famous for its waffles! All in all, it is hardly surprising, given that this delicacy is one of the most popular dishes in Belgium (right next to chips)! It should be noted, however, that waffles in Liège are different from those everywhere else: they are crispy, with uneven edges and extremely sweet.
  • The province's most famous festival is Le Quinze Août! The event, although linked to religious celebrations, is famous for its flea market, dances, concerts and games.
  • The province of Liège hosts one of the most unique Christmas fairs in the world! The fair takes place in the Grottes de Wonck, a network of caves, and you can buy beautiful handicraft specimens there.
