City Overview
Liège is one of the largest cities in Wallonia and a historic city on the Meuse — once a mining and steel hub, now shifting to logistics (a European cargo hub, near Alibaba’s European center), life-tech and a cultural economy. French-speaking, warm and lively, with rich festivals (the Christmas market, a famous Sunday market). Living and housing costs are low with strong value — the industrial-transition and logistics center of southern Belgium.
