GET IN LIÈGE

By plane

Aéroport de Liège-Bierset .Specialising in freight, the airport is nevertheless home to charter flights and a few regular lines, with routes to/from Agadir, Alicante,Bodrum, Catania, Corfu,Djerba, Heraklion, Hurghada, Ibiza, Izmir, Las Palmas, Malaga, Monastir, Palma de Mallorca, Pristina, Rhodes, Tel Aviv and Tenerife. Reaching the city centre with public transportation is a bit tricky.
Brussels National is your most likely point of entry into Belgium. To reach Liège, take the train to Louvain/Leuven and change for Liège.
Charleroi Airport, sometimes referred to as 'Brussels South', is an alternative for low-cost airlines such as Ryanair and WizzAir. From the airport, take the city bus Line A (stop is outside of the departure hall).

By train

Liège-Guillemins is the main station, located on the southwest part of the city. A Thalys [3] line serves Brussels, Leuven, Paris, Aachen and Cologne and Frankfurt.

From Brussels, intercity service runs at least hourly and takes about 60 minutes from Brussels Nord. From Brussels Airport, take the airport shuttle to Leuven and take intercity service from there. From the north, connect in Maastricht. Trains run at least hourly and take about 30 minutes.

Once you're at Liège-Guillemins station, you can get to city centre by changing to a train heading for Gare du Palais, or by taking the number 1 or number 4 bus just outside the station to Place St. Lambert. Another alternative is route 48 which takes you to the Opera. Note that all routes run both ways at the stop of Liège-Guillemins station, make sure to take the buses that have either "Pl. St. Lambert" or "Opera" on their destination sign.

By car

Liège is the crossroads for several major motorways. Its "ring" has 6 branches. In clockwise order:

the E25, to the south, towards Luxembourg and into France via Metz, Nancy, Lyon, ...
the E42, to the west, crosses Wallonia via Mons/Bergen before entering France via Cambrai, Paris, 
the E40, to the west, leading to the Belgian coast via Brussels
the E313, leading to Antwerp and on to the large coastal cities of the Netherlands
the E25, to the north, with Maastricht a stone's throw away (30 km) and the rest of the Netherlands beyond
the E40, to the east, entering Germany via Aachen. A second branch splits off at Verviers, heading to Trier.
Being a fairly large city, many motorway exits are signposted for "Liège". When coming from Germany or Netherlands, it's best to follow the E25 to its end, then follow the road signs to the center. Coming from Luxembourg, it's best to exit at "Angleur" and follow signs to the center, or to continue on to the exit marked "Liège-centre". Finally, coming from Paris, Lille, Brussels, or Antwerp, follow signs to Luxembourg until you reach the exit marked "Liège-centre".

By bus

Liège is well-connected by bus, notably in the Eurolines network. Eurolines arrivals/departures are on rue des Guillemins, near the train station.

By boat

Individuals arriving with their own boat are welcome at the port des Yachts.

Many organised cruises departing from Maastricht stop in the center of Liège, on the right bank (quai Marcatchou to quai Van Beneden).
