Is Liège good for solo travel?

Safety:Very safe

Liège is generally quite safe for solo female travelers. The areas commonly visited by tourists are usually well-regulated and secure. However, like any other city, it's recommended to stay alert, particularly during the night or in less crowded areas. Proper precautions such as avoiding displaying expensive items, and staying in well-lit areas should be taken to ensure safety.

Transport:Easy

Liège is relatively easy to navigate with a compact and walkable city center. Most of the main attractions, cafes, and shops are within walking distance from each other. Although hills are present, the city also offers a good range of public transportation options including buses and trams. The city is also bike-friendly if you prefer a more active form of transportation. Language might be a slight barrier as French is the main language, but many locals do speak English.

Things to do:Interesting

Liège is a well-rounded city regarding activities, for solo female travelers. This city is home to stunning architecture with many historical landmarks and castles to explore. You can also meander through their markets or wander along the Meuse River. With a myriad of museums and art galleries, it's a haven for arts and history lovers. It also boasts a vibrant culinary scene with many bakeries, chocolatiers and street food to satisfy your taste buds. However, if you're looking for natural habitats or outdoor adventure-specific activities, options in city might be limited.

Food:Above average

Liège presents a variety of tantalizing cuisines ranging from local traditional dishes to international flavors. Known for its savory and sweet dishes particularly, waffles and meatballs, it's a delight for the taste buds. However, it might not be an ideal place for vegetarians or those seeking a vast array of diverse, international options as the menu can lean towards the meat-centric side. Nonetheless, the fresh ingredients, elaborate pastry shops, and local produce markets significantly enhance the food experience in the city.

Budget:Moderate

Liège presents a reasonable cost for solo female travelers. Although it is not the cheapest European city, affordable accommodations and food options are available. Sightseeing and public transportation costs are also manageable. However, indulging in higher-end experiences can make your budget escalate very quickly.

Is Liège safe for women?

Laura

The people of Liège are very nice and welcoming. The cultural and traditional events are always warm. There are many artists... you can make a few friends in just a few minutes. However, there is also increasing poverty. Most of the homeless people are very kind, obviously, but some have already shown aggression when you can't meet their requests. Theft is very common in the "Carré" (streets filled with bars), and it is not advisable to walk home alone from the Carré after an evening out. However, nothing very serious has ever happened to me. I prefer events over bars.

About Me

Hey! I'm Laura and I'm from Belgium. I always jump into new opportunities. I worked in Spain, France and teach for three years in Rwanda. I have visited countries and cities and snorkelled everytime I could, and I'm proud about that... but I am now interested about living in an other way. Sooooo I'm solo travelling for the first time. It's been one week and I know for sure that it won't be the last time. I'm experiencing and very excited about learning from women around the world.

Local tips

Arrive at beautiful Guillemins station and admire it's architecture. Head to la Boverie park for a stroll in the most peaceful area of the city along the water. You might spot a few running wild rabbits as they do live there freely. For an urbex experience head to la chartreuse parc to visit abandonned buildings. Go the rue horschateau, climb the famous Montagne de Bueren stairs and take a strol around the cute streets of the citadel.
